Created attachment 187448 [details] brush stroke vs outline SUMMARY Brush preview on canvas (the outline of brush tip shape) doesn't take Ratio setting into account, even when "Use effective outline size" option is checked. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Ensure Configure Krita -> General -> Cursor -> "Use effective outline size" is checked 2. Ensure Configure Krita -> General -> Cursor -> "Show outline" is checked 3. Select a simple brush, e.g. the built-in "Basic-2 Opacity" brush preset 4. Open Brush Editor, check General -> Ratio, uncheck "Enable Pen Settings", and set it to 10% 5. Put the cursor over the canvas OBSERVED RESULT Brush outline is a circle EXPECTED RESULT Brush outline should be a flat ellipse SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 10 Krita: 5.2.13 (git 6d3651a) Qt Version (compiled): 5.15.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I know it *might* be by designed initially, but in my opinion it should be treated as a bug. After all, "Use effective outline size" sounds like the outline should reflect the effective brush size, but it really doesn't when Ratio is in play (see the attachment).
Moving to wishlist because it's a feature request. The option you're referring to has nothing to do with it, that just makes the outline change as you're drawing instead of staying constant. So that's no argument why this would somehow be a bug.
