So currently, if you're scribbling paint over a sculpt it will surface-snap to the sculpt's surface just fine. But if you slip "outside the lines" where you're no longer hovering over a sculpt, it will leave this long trail into the distance. Which I've never found useful myself, and I can't think of a time when this *would* be useful for an artist. (But I can accept maybe someone likes this happening, so this should be an option people can choose to use.)
Instead, it could be made to simply stop the stroke/smear (potentially block stamp edits even?) whenever you're not hovering over a surface... and continue when you're hovering over again.
If the artist *does* want it to slip into the distance, they can easily add a sculpt at the distance they want it to slip to--giving them more control over if and when and how that happens. (They can already do this, of course.)
But I'd suggest that this is how the artist would *want* it to work; they *want* to snap the edit to a surface. They haven't indicated anything about how they want it to work when *not* hovering over a surface... so it could just *not work* in that situation. This would avoid having to redo that entire edit and being super careful to not colour outside the lines and get that weird line slipping into oblivion.
It would also save on memory, as the "slip" can be long and need to store a lot of positions (for each fleck in the paint stroke, at least).
