Similar problem with Bamboo CTL-460, since I upgraded to Lucid.

When released after a stroke, the pointer freezes until I fully separate
pen from tablet and re-approach. Then I get a bogus soft dash from the
point where I released to the point where the pen re-enters proximity,
and the stroke finishes there. This happens to me consistently with my
Bamboo on Lucid, with all recent kernel versions (2.6.32 as far as I can
tell). It didn't happen when I got my Bamboo and used Ubuntu 9.10 with
drivers from "doctorno" PPA, which make no difference on 10.04. No 100%
sure at which point it started failing, but most likely after the
update.

Title:
  wacom intuous3 often fails to draw stroke (release click not
  recognised?)

Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  It appears that sometimes when the pen is lifted a "button up" command is somehow not sent to gimp.
  This is new in Natty (it all worked beautifully in Maverick)

  gimp 2.6.11, 
  ubuntu natty
  Wacom intuous3 6x8

  To reproduce:
  make sure you have selected wacom as extended input device.  Press "P" to paint.
  Make a stroke.  Very often (but not always) at the end of the stroke when the pen is lifted the paint cursor remains at the end of the stroke and does not follow the pointer.  It's necessary to click again (anywhere, or with any button) to get the cursor following the pointer again before you can draw another stroke.  This makes gimp unusable.
