Describe the bug

Hi,

Firstly, I really appreciate the effort behind this app. I have noticed that when I draw any kind of curvy geometry at a high zoom level and then zoom out, it makes it very low poly and distorted. Zooming in fixes it but then I cannot review my notes at a high level. It does this with all sorts of shapes including any written text. I disabled everything like line correction, shape recognition, autosave and such to reduce variables. I am using the standard fountain pen mode on 5 thickness. Please let me know if you need any other debug info.

To reproduce

Open the app, Select the standard pen, pencil or any other drawing tool. Zoom in and write something. Then zoom out and notice the drawing get extremely low poly and distorted.

Expected behavior

Ideally, when I zoom out, it maintains it shape and just becomes smaller like other notes apps. That way, I can at least skim notes at a high level.

Saber version

App Store v0.26.7

This behavior is also present on Ubuntu 24.04 and Android 15 (moto g stylus 2025)

Android 6 same problem.

Maybe this is intended?

But there should be an option to set the zoom level at which lines are optimised.

I was hoping version 0.26.9 would resolve this based on the release notes, but I am having the issue still as well on the latest update
