Re: Oh no, those changes to the user interface

Hi, thanks for explaining Vasyl. I hope it is OK to post this here, but it fits the topic title ;-) . I noticed that with the new update the document tabs (classic toolbar style in single row height) are considerably higher. (See attached image).

Re: pencil tool - turning off smoothing

Hi Daniel, thanks for your reply and pointing out that setting. You might want to update the German translation of this feature, since it is called "Stifthärte" (pencil hardness) on my computer, which in ink applications usually refers to the pressure response curve and not the smoothing l...

Re: pencil tool - turning off smoothing

Hi,
Any news on this?
I just ran into this issue with 9.1 b356.0. The registry key gets deleted (editor was closed, normal installation, 64bit version).
Any other workarounds? The letters m and n very often just become lines, even when not zoomed in.

Kind regards,
Chris
