I'm going to preface this with I've been using Inkscape for years (over 10) to make figures and diagrams - nothing too flashy - but I'm not a complete novice.
I recently started using version 1.4 and am using the pencil tool to do a simple trace and then editing the nodes/handles to better fit my trace line. I have a relatively high smooth (35) so I don't have to delete hundreds of nodes - but I've done this before. For the first time ever the line is jumping off the nodes (see snip below with exaggerated example). Also, when I corner a node, it still will not create a sharp angle. Is there some default setting in this version I need to adjust? What is going on?
I've tried minimizing the smooth, changing from Bezier path mode to spiro, and reducing my grab sensitivity. I appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
