when I use fade tappering brush, click on the canvas, press shift to make a straight stroke, nothing is drawn.
But, if I use dynamics off , I click on canvas and I can use shift to make a stright line.
Not an issue with Gimp 2.9/10 it is the same in Gimp 2.8
Fade Tapering starts off with a zero size brush which incrementally increases to the set brush size, then continues.
click - shift - click to draw a straight line uses the initial size of the brush (zero) so what you are drawing is a zero width line.
There was(is) a script to create a taper using a path. Unfortunately does not work with Gimp 2.10.
No real solution at the moment. Possibilities:
Make a triangular selection then fill it.
Might be possible to make an animated brush, a gimp-image-hose ( gih) to cycle through tiny to large but that will be big and clumsy.
