Smudge brush in krita doesn't behave like it does for example in gimp and that is to smudge like smudgin with your finger tip. Now it just erases and goes crazy :D Very easy to reproduce.

Is there anyway to make it behave like it does for example in gimp and photoshop?

The bug is fixed with beta 3. In beta 2 you can try to turn off the rate option.

Actually all you need to do, is go to the presets and decrease the rate, in beta 2, it's just so high that it indeed replace everything, beta 3 have better default. (I have no idea what would disabling the rate do, I don't even think it should be made possible)

Awesome! Great to see the defaults are more "sane" now :)

On a unrelated note I've noticed that some of the brushes (for example spray) feels a bit sluggish and drags behing the mouse cursor quite a bit when you draw. Is this something that Qt 4.6 will fix? Because I've heard that there're lots of speed improvements or is it completely unrelated to Qt? I've got relatively powerful computer (3.2ghz) and accelrated gfx drivers (Catalyst), so I don't think it could be slow because of that or could it?

I don't think Qt 4.6 will bring significative improvement to Krita speed. But we have decided that optimization will be the main focus of 2.2. So hopefully things are going to improve in the future.

Spray is slow because of Krita's rasterizing code is slow for now. Qt upgrade can't help in this way. I will try to solve it for Krita 2.2.

We fixed the spray performance a little bit -- about 50% speed up now..

A 50% speed improvement is "a little bit"?! I just recompiled and tried it again. Wow! This morning spray lagged about a second behind my cursor and now it's instant.

Nice job!
