When you move, it has some like inertia, and if you start using the pen tool whilst it is still moving, then it like moves relative to your pen, not your board.

Hi ​@25Xela — thanks for raising this!

 

Just so I can better understand what you’re trying to achieve, could you let me know what your intended action is when using the pen while the board is still moving?

Also, if you’re able to capture a short screen recording of what you’re seeing, that would really help illustrate the behavior.

 

Also to clarify, do the issues you're seeing with the pen tool and the connection lines you shared here: https://miro-us.insided.com/developer-platform-and-apis-57/connection-lines-move-slower-than-drawn-object-23837 feel related, or are they separate behaviors? Want to make sure we’re not missing anything if they’re part of the same experience. 

 

Looking forward to your reply!


I have a screen recording, but I can’t share it on here as it only allows screenshots.


Hi ​@25Xela!

 

If you're open to it, feel free to upload the screen recording to a file-sharing platform (like Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer) and share the link here. That’ll give us a much clearer idea of what’s happening and help flag it properly to the product team if needed.

Appreciate you taking the time to record it — definitely helps a lot!


So practically when I move the board then let go it travels for a bit of time. This is fine and I like it, but whilst drawing, it acts like the board isn’t moving, so its like I am using a pen on the screen - literally. Its hard to explain, but you’d imagine whilst moving it would create a trail if you hold the pen in one spot on the screen, but it creates a dot and places it where ever you let go.


Hi ​@25Xela

To fully understand and escalate this properly, it would be super helpful to see a screen recording of the issue in action.

 

If you don’t have an account set up for Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar platforms, a great alternative is Loom. You can easily sign up using your Google account, record your screen, and then share the link here.

 

Once we can see exactly how the pen behavior interacts with the board’s inertia/momentum, we’ll be in a much better place to assist or flag it to the product team if it’s unintended behavior.

Thanks again for your patience and detail!
