Thu 04 Jun 2009 09:38:35 AM UTC, original submission: Several users with special input devices (eg. capacitive touchscreens) have reported that MyPaint adds extra lines between the strokes. This happens when MyPaint does not see any motion events between the strokes. It will interpolate position and pressure from the last motion event. The workaround is in to either disable pressure information (in settings->pressure, set "mode for input devices" to "disabled") or to require some minimal pressure before painting (in settings->pressure, add a new control point to the "global pressure mapping" curve and drag it to (0.2, 0.0). There were several attempts to fix this, the most recent one, reverted again in svn r330 since it caused problems on normal tablets. To find a good fix that works for everyone, someone has to analyze what GDK events you actually get on those devices and in what order.	Martin Renold <martinxyz>
