[Bf-committers] wacom tablet issues

[JS]

Hello,

Tool continues to modify, yes, that has happened.

Dunno this second one.

Yes, I attributed the handle clicking to the jittery nature of the stylus and not a bug.

I have also had a lagging interface.  Deleting the user pref file fixed it up for me. The .B25.blend file in my case located at the top of my /Users/me directory. Settings will have to be re-configured and saved after del.  It sounds like your issue is a bit different but give it a shot anyway.

I can't really submit a bug report because the issues themselves are unpredictable.  I'm assuming that it's related to the Wacom tablet because people using mice at work don't seem to have the same issues:

This lag is considerably lessened by going into full screen mode, but it's still apparent enough to cause a jump when positioning the view.

Is there a way to debug tablet values directly inside Blender by, for example, reading RNA and having it pump into text fields created by Python?  Perhaps some way to piggyback on system messages for input without eating those messages?
