Hold to draw a slider feature conflicts with expected behavior of placing a slider

Type

Game behaviour

Bug description

If cursor had any velocity at the moment when you tried to place a slider it will assume you're trying to use a drawing feature. This unexpected behavior obstructs normal slider placing, as even a little amount of movement in your cursor causes this to happen.
Instead it creates a small slider or doesn't create any slider at all, none of these are expected behavior for a single mouse button click.
Same applies when you hold left click just for a few ms longer even without any movement in your cursor.

Most optimal way to fix that would be adding minimal hold time (ex. 0.5s) required to activate drawing behavior, that would prevent it from triggering just by a single click.

I dunno how we'd ever fix this. Aside from a toggle to turn off drawing mode.

This would be definitely a great solution if changing how it works isn't easily possible

I've never false-triggered this. You already need to exceed the drag lenience, which I think should cover false-drags. If it doesn't, then this is broken everywhere in the game.

Pretty much any experienced mapper will false-trigger this once in a while slowing down their work process. In my opinion this is one of the things that is making lazer editor feel more clunky and less appealing to use for those who switching from stable

Pretty much any experienced mapper

i always have trouble with these sorts of statements because i haven't heard anyone complain about this for years. either that statement is false, or mappers just stay in their echo chambers / silos / discord servers and crap on this in places where we can't see but nobody actually bothers to report this to us (which is also believable at this point)

Slider drawing was implemented roughly 1 year ago (2023.1130.0 to be specific)
Before adding it, behavior of slider placement was matching stable as I showed in video above.

[bdach]

yeah and yet nobody has complained about it for that entire year...

I can confirm I have false triggered this a lot as well if you need more confirmation that something is clearly wrong. I am not an experienced mapper tho
