thanks Chris -- though the reason I think it's the same bug is that the
solution is the same, ie go back to gnome desktop.  I've now tested it
and it works pretty well on gnome.

(Actually, I still saw the sudden leap to x=0 or y=0 once or twice in
hundreds of test strokes -- it must be some kind of race condition)

(I just get the impression that Unity is nowhere near ready to use for
the mainstream. I don't think any of the features are particularly
helpful, and there are so many things that seem harder to do.  As you
say, eventually things will be sorted out. Meanwhile, I just want to get
on with using the computer to create stuff...!)

cheers
Andrew

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.
