Andrew - do you still experience the bug on Gnome (Ubuntu Classic) with
effects, or is it Gnome without effects that you have tried? The reason I
ask is that the effects that most people are experiencing here (with the
sticky brush strokes) are clearly tied to Compiz, which isn't used in Unity
2D, but is used in Classic Ubuntu (Gnome with effects). That's why I think
that the effects you are experiencing are a different bug, even if a related
one.

Have you tried Gnome Shell yet? I'm definitely interested in whether your
issue is cropping up there (and what you think of it in general). I'll
forewarn you that it isn't perfect for me yet. The interface gets "stuck"
every now and again and I have to hit Alt-F2, then "r", then enter to run
the reset command (as in, reset the Shell). For this to work though, you
have to activate the Alt-F2 shortcut, which for some reason is deactivated
by default (you can reactivate under Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts).


Cheers

Chris

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.
