Changing stroke width of scatter brush causing VS to lockup
-
Hi, ran into this repeatable problem.
- Using line tool draw a line
- Apply a scatter brush (screenshot below)
- Using stroke width tool change width. The first change works ok. Adding another node causes program to freeze.
- Close VectorStyler using Force Quit (see screenshot showing system memory).
[Not related but the straight line tooltip shortcut shows two backslashes.]

@Jono I opened a bug on this one. The variable width support for scatter brush is a new feature, and might still have problems.
-
@Jono I tried to replicate this issue, but it seems to be working here.
If you could provide an example file where dragging the width node results in a freeze, it might help replicating the issue.
Thanks!

I was able to replicate the same issue but it took adding more nodes and trying to use the stroke width tool further before it eventually froze on me
Here is a video where it froze while using the path width tool
Here is the file I recovered after force quitting:

The variable width support for scatter brush new feature seems awesome when it works! I hope the bug gets resolved because I could make good use of that new ability.

@Boldline Got it. It can be replicated here also.

Thanks @VectorStyler and @Boldline.
I agree, it will be awesome to have this feature available - lots of interesting possibilities.
File attached in case you need another example, and a screenshot of the settings I was using. (increased scaling and decreased spacing)
