Question

work surface shift when using the fluid brush

Hello, is it normal for the work surface to shift slightly when drawing with the ‘fluid brush’? (As if it suddenly displays at 98 per cent scale while drawing, then returns to 100 per cent scale when the stroke is finished. And so on. So it moves all the time.) It's very uncomfortable and I don't see how to fix it. Thank you!

    This is likely related to display scaling.

    Try to set your display scaling to 100% to see if the issue will disappear.

    Thank you very much, yes, that's better. Well, it's not very practical when you want an overview of the drawing, and I really feel that the soft brush stroke was better managed before (I worked on this programme a long time ago), but I'm sure I'll find my own tricks. Thank you for your reply, in any case.

    Just to make sure you understood me well - I did not mean the zoom level of your stage, but rather display scaling which you set for your monitor at OS level.
