Randomly my brush strokes aren't being picked up my Krita.

I will be sketching away then Ill see that i have started a new stroke, but there is nothing appearing on the canvas.
Even when I add pressure still nothing.
If I lift my pen off the tablet and reapply pressure it will draw a line normally again, this happens every 5/10 lines drawn.

Which version of Krita are you using, which OS and which tablet?

Thanks for the reply. Im using Version 2.8 Pre-Alpha.

Im using Windows Vista SP2

And Im using an A4 Wacom Intuos 3

I tried a reinstall of Krita, but the same thing happens. Ill try and record a video.

Here's a video

I can confirm this too. At work on latest windows version, win7 64bit. From time to time Krita is stuck in no draw mode - so I have to right click to get out of brush hang. I use wacom bamboo. I think this problem was present some time ago in older windows version, but then it was happening much more often that it is now.

Correction: Im using a wacom Intuos 2. Hopefully wont make a difference.

It shouldn't make a difference -- though when we were fixing the original bug, we saw a lot of difference between versions of wacom drivers.

I reinstalled the latest Wacom Intuos 2 Driver, but it made no difference. Im really loving Krita, but the random missing strokes really ruin the flow. It is very annoying.

I have tried disabling my second monitor, I have deactivated any processor or gpu tracking software. But I still get the issue.

I know your doing everything you can, but it is getting really annoying now. Its stopping me from having any faith in where I'm putting my lines. Is there any updates on this bug at all?

No... I have been fixing a lot of bugs in the past two days, but I haven't got a system where I can reproduce it, and that makes it really hard to figure out a fix.

Have you tried to disable the open GL in preferences? is not the best choice but seems to work.

That was the first thing I did, but didn't seem to help.

This happens to me also, it tends to happen most frequently when I'm working with quick and repeated strokes as well as doing very soft pressure strokes. This was an issue to me, but as I become comfortable with the tablet the problem has vastly improved. It probably is related to some threshold, perhaps while the pen is slightly touching the surface it's actually sending, because of the hand shakiness, a lot of on/off events so the software decides to ignore the pen event to save CPU. At least that's my supposition as it has become a non issue (it almost never happens) as I get more confident with the tool.

This never happens with mypaint or gimp, so I'm sure it's software related.

In case it's useful, Im on an Intuos 2, git master

I'm glad its not just me then. And you gave a very accurate description of the problem. Thank you. The only difference being, is that as soon as I start to get confidence, Krita misses a stroke, and then I'm left being un confident through fear of when the next missing stroke might occur.
