I'm running the 5.0 Beta, and I think this is an issue that I didn't have with 4.0. I'm using a two-finger gesture to zoom, as I've always done, but I can't seem to zoom without rotation, which I don't want. I can use the various zoom tools to zoom without rotation, but is there a way I can continue to use touch without having the canvas spin every which way? No matter how I touch the screen, the canvas rotates when I change the zoom.

Thanks!

Okay, this must be a 5.0 bug. I uninstalled the Beta and reinstalled 4.4.8, and the two-finger Zoom works fine, no rotation. That's a relief. Developers, please take note.

I have a vague (and possibly false) memory of this being discussed here: https://krita-artists.org/
That forum has a search tool (magnifying glass icon) with advanced search options so you could try some search keywords to see if there is a topic about it.
You could also sign up and post a new topic asking about it.

The developers can't be expected to note anything that isn't a formal bug report at https://bugs.kde.org/ but they do read forum posts when they have time.
