My bad! Post #63 describes data loss in GIMP ver. 2.7.4 with thin lines. This is due to using a different Brush than previously. The standard GIMP Brush does not produce thin lines but complete data loss while GIMP Brushes #1 and #2 give the thin lines before and after dropouts.
Just loaded the Linux Mint 11 Gnome Live CD and tried drawing in Gimp 2.6.11 without tablet drivers installed for my Genius Mousepad 8x6 and without NVIDIA drivers installed. It worked absolutely perfect! No streaks to the edge of the screen at all. No dropouts in the lines whatsoever. Full pressure sensitivity was observed. Scribbled as fast as I could with no problems. But then again Linux Mint 11 is based on UBUNTU 11.04 and everything works fine there. The Linux Mint 12 release candidate will be available around November 11th, based on UBUNTU 11.10. But they are using Gnome 3.2 with Mint Gnome Shell Extentions (MGSE) and MATE to replace Gnome 2.32 instead of Unity and Gnome Classic. This presents and interesting opportunity to see if Unity has screwed up things in UBUNTU since Linux Mint 12 RC is a permutation of Ubuntu 11.10. I will pursue the Linux Mint 12 RC to test against the bug here in Ubuntu and report back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/863154 Title: Wacom Bamboo One tablet random coordinate malfunctions Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP): Unknown Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The tablet in overall seems to work correctly, with all pressure- features working. But quite frequently, while drawing, GIMP seems to wrongly read the coordinates of the stylus (as zeros, or negative values?), resulting in frequent, random 'line-peaks' in the direction of the left and upper image edges. With this bug it is hard to even use the tablet, since these problems are very frequent (see the exemplary image attached). The tablet works with no problems in MyPaint. The bug is reproducible in both Unity-2d and Unity-3d. I also notice the CPU usage increasing dramatically during drawing with any brush. Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect the Wacom Bamboo One tablet 2. Open GIMP 3. Start drawing longer strokes with any brush Expected result: The brush stroke as intended by moving the stylus Actual result: The brush stroke as intended with frequent, random line-strokes towards image edges System: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric (development branch) GIMP version: 2.6.11 (package version: 2.6.11-2ubuntu3) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gimp/+bug/863154/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
