ibis Paint Cursor Visibility Problem on Non-Hover iPad Devices

I am writing regarding a serious usability problem that started after the recent Ibis Paint iOS update (v14.1.0 / v14.1.1) on my tablet. I use Ibis Paint on an iPad 10th Gen (A16) with the Apple Pencil (USB‑C), which does not support hover. In previous versions of the app, the crosshair or circular brush cursor stayed visible on the canvas throughout the stroke, so I could clearly see where my line would land as I was drawing. After the recent update, the cursor disappears the exact moment the pencil touches the screen on devices without hover, which leaves me effectively “blind” while drawing because I cannot see my stroke path in real time. For my workflow and drawing accuracy, having a persistent crosshair or circle cursor that remains visible during the entire brush stroke is essential. The new behavior severely affects my ability to draw precisely and has made the app much harder to use on non‑hover devices like my current setup. I kindly request that you restore the previous behavior for non‑hover devices or, at minimum, add a setting or toggle that allows users without hover support to keep the brush cursor or crosshair permanently visible during strokes, just as it worked in earlier versions. Thank you in advance for your attention and support.
