Description Chris Jones 2015-02-16 13:24:51 UTC 
The Dynamic Brush Tool inherits the Smoothing option from the Freehand Brush Tool, but if the Smoothing setting is changed, the Dynamic Brush retains the initial setting until Krita is restarted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Select the Freehand Brush Tool and make sure the Smoothing is set to None.
2.  Restart Krita.
3. Draw a quick circle with the Freehand Brush, and do the same with the Dynamic Brush Tool.  Note that neither circle is smooth.
4.  Set the Freehand Brush Smoothing to Basic.
5.  Draw a quick circle with the Freehand Brush and Dynamic Brush again.  Note that only the circle created with the Freehand Brush is smooth.
6.  Restart Krita.
7.  Draw a quick circle with the Dynamic Brush, and note that it is now smooth.

Actual Results:  
Dynamic Brush Tool's Smoothing doesn't update during the same session

Expected Results:  
Dynamic Brush Smoothing should stay in sync with Freehand Brush without having to restart Krita

I can confirm following the steps above.

Still can confirm. It's a surprise for me that the Dynamic Brush Tool does inherit the Stabilizer, actually. It should be somewhat easy to fix, I think.

I just experienced this for myself...
