Summary: [stabilizer] "Scalable distance": confusing wording?
Product: krita

Hi,
The option "Scalable distance [ ]" in tool options of the Freehand Brush tool
confused me a lot over the past days as I tried to use again stabilizer after
two years being away and using "none" for all.
The documentation and infobox tells this:
- Documentation: "This makes it so that the numbers involved will be scaled
along the zoom level." (src:
https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/freehand_brush.html)
- Infobox (when mouse over the checkbox): "Scalable distance takes zoom level
into account and make the distance visually constant whatever zoom level is
choosen."
If you test with a dramatic distance to be sure to notice the effect (140px
here is enough), check "Scalable Distance"; you'll end with a very very slow
brush at 12% zoom, a slow at 25% and faster at 50% then 'quicker' at 100%. So,
not really "Visually constant" as promised. The gesture is not constant either
and visually the resulting stroke is not constant too being overly weighted at
lower zoom size. To get a constant behavior whatever the zoom size (I guess 99%
of what drawer/painter expects) the good option is to uncheck it. Could be
maybe the wording about this option improved or just maybe more hints in the
infobox and documentation?
(Note: This is not a regression.)
