Similar problem with Bamboo CTL-460, since I upgraded to Lucid. When released after a stroke, the pointer freezes until I fully separate pen from tablet and re-approach. Then I get a bogus soft dash from the point where I released to the point where the pen re-enters proximity, and the stroke finishes there. This happens to me consistently with my Bamboo on Lucid, with all recent kernel versions (2.6.32 as far as I can tell). It didn't happen when I got my Bamboo and used Ubuntu 9.10 with drivers from "doctorno" PPA, which make no difference on 10.04. No 100% sure at which point it started failing, but most likely after the update.

Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gimp It appears that sometimes when the pen is lifted a "button up" command is somehow not sent to gimp. This is new in Natty (it all worked beautifully in Maverick) gimp 2.6.11, ubuntu natty Wacom intuous3 6x8 To reproduce: make sure you have selected wacom as extended input device. Press "P" to paint. Make a stroke. Very often (but not always) at the end of the stroke when the pen is lifted the paint cursor remains at the end of the stroke and does not follow the pointer. It's necessary to click again (anywhere, or with any button) to get the cursor following the pointer again before you can draw another stroke. This makes gimp unusable.
