Bug ID: 466718
Summary: Default-setting 'Snap to image center' shouldn't be
activated by default, imo.
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: 5.1.5
Platform: unspecified
OS: All
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Hi, I'm giving Krita courses for a CG school (remotely) since the start of
January. Today was lesson 6, and we made some drawings. A student had an issue
with his line tool (the Line Tool, or shortcut 'V' in Freehand) both randomly
snapping in the void and preventing him to draw a line. They felt it was like
magnetized in the void to something.
It took us a little time to see the "View > Snap > Snap to Image center" was
activated by default and line going across this two axis will magnet (and
sometimes, render/bake accidentally while snapping)... After we removed the
default, other in the class told me they had the same issue. I couldn't
experience the issue, because probably my default settings are too old to have
Snap options ever activated by default...
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Krita (vanilla default settings), and create a new document.
2. Trace lines with the V shortcut while in Freehand, or using the line tool,
try around the center of the document.
OBSERVED RESULT
The line will magnet to imaginary axis center guides. It constrains the
movement of the users, and they feel the line tool is inaccurate or broken
because it is not discoverable that there is a snap function in Krita
activated.
EXPECTED RESULT
Free tracing with line tool, meaning 'Snap to image center' shouldn't be
activated by default, IMO.
Thanks! :-)
