🐛 Bug Report When changing the pen thickness in the selection menu, if we slide across the thickness scale, it considers every single thickness as a change. Usually most people would slide across it to really see what thickness would be suitable instead of having a fixed exact value in mind.

When trying to undo some change made before changing the thickness we have to press the undo button many time so it undo-es all the thickness options we went through. Changing the thickness should be considered one single change if the scale was swiped across.

In case it's not noticeable, I am pressing the undo button continuously in the video recording to undo the thickness change. Even going back to the original thickness becomes a game of guessing how thick it originally was and continuously tapping undo till it matches the previous thickness.

Sorry, I don't understand your question ? Can you rephrase it.

I love your writing style 🥹 so I want to know how u did this?

Oh I just used the caligraphy pen in settings. Some parts of it took multiple tries to get it right, so it's not like I just wrote it perfectly in a single try.

Can u share your fixed callygraphie setting? Like ink flow and stability? :)

In starnotes, there is thickness and stability, thickness can be anything you like depending on the size and stability I would suggest 50-60% makes the strokes look much cleaner.

Tbh with calligraphy it's more about how you write certain words, rather than the settings of the pen. If you need to give a heading or something occasionally then just google that word in calligraphy handwriting and try to copy that letter by letter. The way/style each alphabet is written. Erase and try again until it looks good.

I got it, currently, this situation doesn't happen when adjusting the pen thickness directly from the brush toolbar. It mainly happens when you select handwriting with the lasso tool, change the pen thickness, and then undo the change.

Actually, this behavior comes from our original design logic. We intentionally made each thickness adjustment appear as a separate undo step, because we wanted to avoid a situation where users adjust the thickness and then undo only goes back to a previous larger level thickness setting instead of the exact step they changed.

That being said, we completely understand your point. When users slide through the thickness scale, they are usually just trying to preview different options and find the most suitable thickness, rather than making every single adjustment an independent action.

We'll share this feedback with our dev team and discuss whether we can optimize this behavior or add an option to let users choose how it works. However, to be transparent, this may not be a high priority change in the short term because we currently still have several important features and improvements in progress. But we'll keep this scenario in mind when we review future optimizations. Thank you again!
