Public bug reported:

I've been letting my daughter play/paint with tuxpaint since about 3-4
years (she's 5+ now). I think there's a change in behaviour since the
last release (12.10) in that now the pen up/down has changed to be a
toggle instead of click while moving the pointer to paint, no paing when
moving without pressing a mousebutton.

The thing is that I've just bought a wacom drawing tablet (pen+touch)
and it works well, but it isn't usable when tuxpaint works like this.
It's already horrible with a mouse, but with the tablet it becomes
unworkable.

Krita is wonderful for tablet drawing, but that is just to complex an
interface for kids (though I'd love a kids-friendly view on krita as an
application, a bit like krita sketch), so I'm at a loss which
alternatives exist for tuxpaint for my daughter and the tablet...

Cheers

Simon
