Created attachment 138035 [details] Boerenbont patterned incremental brush. SUMMARY When using an animated brush tip that increments, these increments work with the freehand brush, but not with the geometric tools. A number of effects are not possible due that. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create an animated brush-tip that increments (I will try to attach one that prints a boerenbont pattern) 2. Select the brush-tip and increase the spacing so you can see each individual stamp. 3. Draw a circle with the freehand tool. 4. Draw a circle with the ellipse tool. 5. Compare. OBSERVED RESULT In freehand, the stamps increment as expected, resulting in a correct pattern. In the shape drawing tools, the stamp increments randomly. EXPECTED RESULT The shape drawing tools should increment similarly to the freehand tools.

Created attachment 138053 [details] Finges brush tip that only works with the stablizer. So, I've noticed a similar issue with an old very delicate incremental brush tip that prints a fringe. When I use it normally without a stablizer, it prints out-of-order. When I use it with stablizer but move my mouse fast, it only occasionally prints out of order. When I use it with stablizer and move the mouse very slowly, it prints correctly. My guess is that there's some time-sensitive sensor in the brush information that is being used by the incremental brush tips, and because geometric tools are instant, they are unable to increment the brush tip correctly.
Created attachment 138054 [details] Image showing the problem with the fringe brush, with the upmost being without stablizer and the lowest with stablizer and slow movement.
I can confirm these observations using the May 02 5.0.0-prealpha (git d2806ec) appimage on Debian 10, with a different incremental .gih brush. For the attached fringes brush tip, It does seem to work ok if I paint a freehand line very slowly. As speed increases then the stamps become more 'noisy'.

I was about to post a new bug report, but this looks to be the same bug. A recent discussion on krita-artists.org has narrowed down the source of this bug. It's an issue with multi-threading in the pixel engine where it's not properly syncing the image selection for the animated brushtip. See the discussion here: https://krita-artists.org/t/bug-feature-request-poor-precision-on-incremental-animated-brush-tips-causing-skipping-depending-on-speed/86684 Hope this helps!
