Steve Dallas Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hello, I have been using Paint.net for years and really like it, but lately there has been a serious issue I have been running across. I will be working on a picture and using the drawing tools, such as the pencil, zoomed in and drawing lines. For some reason, the program seems to skip and suddenly I have a horizontal or vertical line all the way across my picture from the point I was working on to the edge. I hit undo and keep working, but sometimes it happens a lot, multiple times within minutes. I have the updated version of the program and I see this happen on three different machines I use. Anyone else seen this happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Hello Steve, welcome to the forum!This has been reported before and as I remember the 'cure' seems to be to switch off hardware accelerated rendering (GPU).Click the gear icon in the top right and it's the first choice under 'User Interface'.I hope that works! http://www.getpaint.net/doc/latest/SettingsDialog.html Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Rick Brewster Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I don't believe this is related to Hardware Acceleration at all. This is probably what you want: http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28852-line-jumpsskips-to-top-of-window-while-drawing/ 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
