Description Markus Elfring 2020-10-24 13:30:21 UTC
SUMMARY
I imagine that it can become challenging to identify and hit the adjustment handles on high resolution screens.

EXPECTED RESULT
I suggest to increase the size of symbols like squares occasionally.

Would you also like to adjust settings “grab sensitivity” and “click/drag threshold” as preferences accordingly?

No, actually, since they are scaled together with the whole UI, they are big enough on the high dpi screens as well. In case of vector shapes, I even believe they can be too big: I have a 4K screen and this is my wish (related, or even opposite of what you're proposing): bug 420213 .

The quality of our eyes can evolve over time.
Would you like to support users with visual difficulties?

Do you support any “effects” like blinking or highlighting if the (mouse) pointer is over a handle?
Comment 3 Tiar 2020-12-10 23:15:50 UTC
Can you please include the contents of "Help -> Show system information for bug reports" in an attachment, and can you please make a screenshot of your whole Krita window with the handles in question visible? And please say whether you use UI scaling on your system, too. (That will help see the issue).

Highlighting when the pointer is over the handle should be doable.

I do not use extra functionality for this purpose at the moment.

I am curious how the configurability will evolve further for affected graphical user interface elements.
