Delay / flickering between strokes using Krita

Hello, first of all I want to say I really enjoy using Krita as an artist as it to me has many advantages to other commercial or free painting software.

The problem I have is that when I create a large canvas (about 3000 x 3000 pixels and above) and try to draw several lines in quick repetition there is a noticeable delay between each line until the next line is properly shown. This occurs only if i go to a zoomed out perspective from where I can see the whole canvas on my Full HD Screen. If I go to a closer perspective drawing works flawlessly. Lower resolution also seems to solve this error. Still there is a noticeable flickering between each stroke from zoomed out perspective which is kinda distracting sometimes.

Does anyone know these problems or has any solution how to solve them so that I can draw on larger scaled images seamlessly?

Thanks in advance
seb

Try to disable Instant Preview. That is meant to make big brush strokes on large canvases more interactive, but it doesn't work when you place many small brush strokes quickly -- because it first does a scaled down version of your stroke and then computes the stroke at full resolution.

Ok, thank you very much. It solved my problem. Seems I have overseen this. :-P
