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

2011-12-27 Thread Andrew Kay
I tried to do some more work this time using Gimp 2.7.3 (compiled myself on Xubuntu 11.10 from some instructions) And using my Wacom intuos 3. I can confirm that both bugs are still there: - sometimes you make a stroke , but you might have just as well stayed in bed, because gimp won't move the

I'll have to get back to you on these. I'm still using gimp 2.6, mainly out of cowardice. meanwhile, I don't know the difference between "gnome" "gnome shell" "ubuntu classic" "unity" "compiz" "metacity" -- some of them are window managers, some are something else. It's confusing and I haven't s

"up"graded to oneiric ocelot 11.10 (what ARE the Ubuntu people of power thinking about these days?) with Unity2D the gimp problem is different (but equally crippling) -- Wacom Intuos 3: when I touch the pad to introduce a stroke (eg brush or eraser), the gimp appears often to get a signal to draw

I haven't tried ocelot yet, but on Natty it is only a problem with Unity -- ie going back to gnome removes the problem. When you look at the output from "xinput" it seems (and I'm not experienced here) that the driver is generating the right combination of ups and downs. So it seems to be some in

I agree with Stefan Zeyen. Although I did always have trouble (since approximately Jaunty!) with operating menus with the stylus or the mouse, the problem with failure in the actual painting canvas is brand new in Maverick. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu
