Description tomtomtomreportingin 2022-08-27 00:35:58 UTC

SUMMARY
When "Align the brush preview outline to the pixel grid" is disabled (as it is by default), the brush doesn't perform the way it did pre-5.1. This difference in behavior can be observed in the brush settings preview when toggling the option.

Please note that this bug did NOT occur in the demo I recorded in https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/merge_requests/1405 (as you can tell from the brush settings preview not changing), so it seems the behavior regressed in some way sometime after my initial merge request. Perhaps the additional commits might have introduced new problems.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select Pixel Art Fill brush.
2. Select Sharpness option.
3. Enable "Align the brush preview outline to the pixel grid"

OBSERVED RESULT
The functional behavior of the brush changes. Disabling the setting makes it so that brush doesn't make strokes the same way it did pre-5.1.

EXPECTED RESULT
The setting should only affect the brush preview outline.

Since this issue changes how sharpness brushes create strokes between 5.0 and 5.1, without any user intervention, marking this as a regression.
