Description wcedmisten 2021-04-06 15:07:41 UTC
Description:
When trying to draw tight curves, as are often found in signatures, the Freeform Draw tool modifies the curve to be less tight, which completely changes the signature.

My guess is that this is really a feature, but for my use case it is a bug. I would appreciate a way to disable this curve modification, or modify the tool to not modify tight curves.



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the curve tool (pencil icon) which defaults to Freeform Line
2. Draw a cursive m or a cursive W, which both have tight curves.
See this image for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Nealian#/media/File:D'Nealian_Cursive.svg

Actual Results:
curves are modified slightly or sometimes exaggeratedly, e.g. when writing cursive letters m or W

Expected Results:
curves remain as they were drawn in the Freeform Line tool


Reproducible: Always
