Stabilizer Problem with the Dynamic Brush

Support and Advice General Questions
,
1

I don’t know what I did but the stabilizer is now turned on while using the dynamic brush. Specifically, the weighted option. There’s no way to turn it off in the tool options because the dynamic brush isn’t supposed to use the stablizer. I have no clue how to fix the issue except for exiting Krita and re-opening. There seems to be a delay from startup to the time the stabilizer switches on. Really weird issue.

Any suggestions?

When you have the dynamic brush selected, does editing the settings in tool options help?

3

It’s not even available, so it’s essentially stuck on “on”.

4

Can you post a full screen screenshot with the Layers docker and the Tool Options docker fully visible?

What makes you say that it’s specifically the weighted option?

Strokes seem to be normal for now but the ‘ring’ around the cursor is present even when the dynamic brush is selected. Trying to reproduce the problem now, but before the strokes were weighted too.

Cursor not showing up in the screenshot but there should be a small dot in the middle of the circle on screen.

Depending on the screenshot utility, the cursor might be suppressed or replaced by the system cursor.

7

Just to be certain you didn’t enabled Brush preview and cursor visibility at the same time? Meaning the circle you’re seeing isn’t a weighted stabilizer circle, but the brush itself?

8

It’s possible, though the strokes were also weighted before. They aren’t now so maybe the problem corrected itself(?). Just super confusing.

Everything’s confusing when it’s new.

If it happens again, focus on describing the symptom in as much detail as possible and we can take a second shot at it.

This bug is easy to recreate, if you close a document with stabilization enabled for the Freehand Brush Tool it will apply Freehand Brush Tool options to Dynamic Brush Tool.
And removing them is the same process, disable stabilization on Freehand Brush Tool, close and reopen the program, now the Dynamic Brush Tool has no extra stabilization.

I’m using 5.3.0-prealpha (git fac6dc4)

I noticed a person complain about it on the discord and had come across this behavior before. I remember being able to fix it for myself so I figured I’d share what I know.

Thank you for this tip, @Thrall. I reopened the original topic for you and moved your comment into the applicable thread.

I thought this was being dealt with here in another topic:
