Created attachment 103194 [details] [gif animation of the noisy outliner] Hi, Today I launched Mypaint to test an old brush; and I found something really calm about the way Mypaint display the outliner/cursor while painting ; for sure, it's less featured than the one of Krita ( only circles, limited size, no rotation, no angle, no bitmap brush-mask preview ) but it doesn't produce "visual noises" or change shape when moving hover the canvas. On Krita ; the outliner (even using a rounded brush and flying over a white background) keeps changing aspect ; pixels dances, it's a bit noisy. ( in attachement a gifanimation demo. I'm using the 'Outliner' + 'Small circle' cursor to show the center of my brush. This is a wish open to the creativity of a developer to improve this rendering :-)
Erm, I confirmed this, but isn't the circle outline already more or less what you want?
@Boud: True, the circle outline is already more or less what I want. It looks perfect in term of rendering. Thank you for pointing it. It would be perfect if there was a possibility to mix this type of rendering with a preview of the shape of the classic "outline".

Fix strobbing of the brush outline becasue of subpixel precision The patch basically aligns the center of the outline to the pixel grid of the widget.
