Issue where Inkscape interprets pen incorrectly

Postby miggi03 » Wed Apr 20, 2016 10:08 pm

Hi all

I am having an issue with Inkscape where by if I enable my tablet in Screen or Window mode each pen stroke seems to register as either 2nd mouse or middle mouse click "It's random".

The software that comes with this tablet is quite woeful and limited so you cannot swap the "Nib" button input itself only the keys on the pen side.

It could be the tablet but I have trial of both Corel and Illustrator which this problem is not present in either and pressure sensitivity works as expected in Windows Pen test.

Following setup.

OS: Win 10 x64
Inkscape 0.91
Tablet = UGEE M708

Thank you for reading,

Michael.

Sorry to leave yr post unanswered so long. In these off brand tablet problems the best thing is to look to see if there is a newer driver from the manufacturer. Failing that you might resolve the problem by disconnecting the mouse and disabling other pointing devices like a touchpad and then opening Inkscape by clicking with the pen itself.
Your mind is what you think it is.
