Created attachment 139014 [details] screen shot showing issue SUMMARY When using any brush with pressure sensitivity controlling size, the brush always starts off with a thick circle at the maximum size possible with those settings (the pressure curve found in the brush settings under "size") soon followed by the actual size determined by the pressure. Basically, every part of the stroke works normally except for the very beginning which has the big blot. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. use any brush for instance inkbrush 25 2. have the brush settings as preset 3. draw any stroke from any point in the canvas. my canvas size is 1920 x 1080 at 300 ppi OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't see that happen with version 4.4.3 running on Debian 10 with a Wacom Intuos Draw tablet. A very low pressure start to the stroke gives a very small starting size followed by increasing size with increasing pressure, for brushes with that designed characteristic. Can you use the Table Tester to check the pen pressure values at the start of a stroke when doing a low pressure start?
Created attachment 139053 [details] Screenshot 2021-06-06 162645.png So the issue is with the very beginning of the stroke, it always starts with a big blob and then changes to follow its regular pressure. Also, I have the tablet tester but I don't see anything that displays pressure sensitivity, just its location in coordinates and some value for B. Also, on my device I do not have a blue line as stated in the Krita help page, so it may be a problem with my computer specifically. The left panel of the tablet tester reads:x=#(from 59 to 64 ) y= #(from 105 to 20) and b=1(never changes even as i vary pressure with my stylus). attached are two screenshots of the Configure Krita page with the Tablet Tester open, although i'm not sure how helpful they will be. For the "S" I had varied pressure, starting strong then growing weak at the tip, and for the "l" I had constant pressure. side note: thanks for responding so quickly to my bug report, and also sorry if I do anything incorrectly when describing the issue, this is my first report. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [krita] [Bug 438103] Brush shape irregular at start of stroke From: "Ahab Greybeard" < bugzilla_noreply@kde.org[1]> Date: Sun, June 06, 2021 1:20 pm To: sorin@jayaweera.com[2] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438103 Ahab Greybeard < ahab.greybeard@hotmail.co.uk[3]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|REPORTED |NEEDSINFO CC| | ahab.greybeard@hotmail.co[4].u | |k Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO --- Comment #1 from Ahab Greybeard < ahab.greybeard@hotmail.co.uk[3]> --- I don't see that happen with version 4.4.3 running on Debian 10 with a Wacom Intuos Draw tablet.

Created attachment 139055 [details] Screenshot 2021-06-06 164034.png Sorry for sending multiple messages, I just found that when I switched my pen API to the Windows 8+ pointer input, the issue changed to be the exact opposite. At the start of the stroke it would be small and then it would go to the regular settings of the brush, and the Tablet tester showed a blue line. When I did varying pressure for the S this time, the P value changed, as well as when I lifted up the stylus a red line appeared, and when I did constant pressure for the l the P stayed at 0.0% and there was no red line. Attached are the screenshots.

I replied to the email(I forgot to include a part so I used two replies). In them I show images of the tablet tester using the WinTab API (it stayed red) and the windows 8+ pointer input API(constant pressure was all blue and changing pressure had a red stick at the end which connected to the beginning). In the actual program, when I am using WinTab the beginning of a stroke is always big, followed by the actual size determined by the pressure, and when I am using the Windows 8+ API it always starts small and then goes up to the actual pressure that I am using. Thank you for your time! ~ My email is Sorin@jayaweera.com and I had responded to the email I recieved from "Ahab Greybeard" <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> with a CC sent to ahab.greybeard@hotmail.co.u
Thanks for your comment! Automatically switching the status of this bug to REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to get confirmed. In the future you may also do this yourself when providing needed information.
It's a problem with tablet driver, you can reinstall it and see what happens.
Yeah, this seems to be an issue of the tablet driver reporting the wrong values when using wintab. We cannot touch that code, so you're best off using WinInk
