Re: [Bug 786317] Re: wacom intuous3 often fails to draw stroke (release click not recognised?)

 

This sounds like a totally different bug. You might want to find a ticket
that matches these problems or start a new one.

For what it's worth though, I have used Unity2D successfully with the
tablet, but I also didn't switch around any of the settings and was doing
that with the pre-release of Unity 2D on Natty. You might want to try
playing around with whatever window focus settings you changed, as well as
test out Classic Ubuntu (no effects) with and without those window settings.


I personally like Ocelot. Canonical's view is that by making their operating
system more modern in flavor, they are going to be able to attract a wider
user base, which I'm definitely for (promoting open source is kind of a life
mission). Naturally, there are going to be bumps along the way to such major
changes, but I'm confident that all will smooth out. In the mean time, I
definitely get excited by all the change, new features and such. For what
that's all worth...

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.
