9 years ago Aha, yes. Love the design, very fun! What you're seeing is the pen trying to avoid going on top of other paths, hence the lifts. This is on by default on works great and as intended for painting projects, but is pretty silly for pen drawings. Unfortunately in an effort to keep print mode as simple as possible, we didn't add a checkbox for this. Again, in the next version, this will be highly configurable but for right now, you need to go to Settings > Advanced > Modes: Manual, activate that, then go to manual mode, and uncheck "Check stroke visibility". This will completely turn off any special occlusion checking (with the exception of fills) just for this mode, and should quiet down your drawing quite a bit. You'll find the Auto Paint button (under the Auto tab) works basically the same as it does in regular print mode. There's a few other options in manual paint mode, but they're still int he works and "not quite all there".
Pro Tip: When using pens, set your "brush height" to only just as high as you need it to be clear of the paper, and your drawing will be both quieter and faster as it doesn't have to wait as long for the shorter pen movement.

Not sure if this is a bug or setting, but I coded these to be 3 continuous paths each, and it seems like it is randomly lifting the pen. https://youtu.be/1gaZM0wy450
