funky problem im having

im not sure if its happening to anyone else, seeing as my sister was confused by it, but it keeps right clicking when im drawing

ive checked all my stylus' options and it doesnt have anything on that would cause it to right click

also drawing/sketching too quickly would leave a straight line instead of a curve or what not again

also also i rlly enjoy the layer feature, now i can colour more efficiently 🦔

As in, you see the popup web browser right-click menu?

How many layers are you drawing with?

and im currently only using the foreground and background layers

Does your stylus maybe have a double or triple tap to activate a right click? Or some kind of button or touch sensitive area?

The editor canvas has always draw lines to "connect the dots" when you draw quickly, otherwise you'd see gaps in your drawing. Have you noticed more obvious straight lines in the last week?

Actually, I found a way to disable the right-click menu on the canvas. If you refresh and try again, you should no longer be able to trigger it.

Thank you, I was having the same problems before but it seems to be fine now :)

Well that's interesting. I don't do anything special around right-clicks, so your computer definitely thinks you're right-clicking for some reason 🤷🏻‍♂️

my stylus does have 2 buttons but theyre currently set to do nothing as i dont really use them

yeah, ive noticed it happening these past couple of days

i draw a lot of circles and they've just been turning into triangles instead 😟

Hmm. There might be something I can do. Whilst you're drawing, the page is also drawing the onion skins and the "old" picture you're drawing over. This is so that I could do the layer-move tool and things like that.

I'll dig in and see if I can find a way to make it faster.

Would you say you have a slow device?

yea, i guess its pretty slow at times

If you continue to draw in circles at the same speed, does it get smoother after a moment, or is it jagged lines all the way?

it gets smoother

Okay, I might be able to improve that. I’ll get back to you.

I’ve always had the problem of the straight line when drawing too fast but only when I zoom in (not the tool zoom in but my trackpad zoom)
