Details:
The actual minimal size cursor ( brush outline circle ) in master with the
freehand Line mode show a subtle but really annoying offset with the line
drawed.
This is subtle, but broke a lot the pleasure to draw on Mypaint ; the line
precision feels wrong.
To test : take the preset on set#2 "deevad/pen" ; draw with it, try thin
details. You can see how the line appear from the bottom corner of the brush
cursor. This is the annoying thing
Now reset GIT to commit 68d3f681fe87a64ed62c1c4474924068bc9ab3b0
( before new cursor get introduced ) and have a drawing session : much better
, precise. It's actually the Mypaint version I decided to switch for now.
Also, newer cursor with opacity in grey were reported to be less visible than
old "black or white" one. And minimal in master is still more large than the
one on the old git commit number I wrote above. This regression affect 1.1 too
:/
@Andrew ; no offense against your work on the cursor. I know it's a sensitive
and difficult topic, and I'm not posting this bug-report because of the
mainstream user syndrom of 'it-was-better-before-omg" ( when they can't adapt
, or relearn something better ).
I know newer cursor solve issue on a technical level... would it be possible
to find a new solution ? and backport it to Mypaint 1.1 ? Thanks in advance
