@yorugecko: Viewed the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuL2RGTnl1I. Could you be more specific regarding what you mean by "a partial upgrade"? I seem to have the bug over multiple desktop versions of Ubuntu 11.10 with GIMP and two Genius Mousepad 8x6 tablets. For me the symptoms are least using XUBUNTU desktop but still present. It takes me maybe a minute to 90 seconds for it to show up drawing in pencil mode doing fast circles by hand. Could you try scribbling for about three minutes just in pencil mode and see what happens rather than jumping around different functions. If the problem doesn't show up then give us a rundown on what you did to fix it.
If you have a fix go over to www.davidrevoy.com and tell David so he can test and post it on his blog. He is the art director for the Blender Foundation and a lot of people in the computer graphics art community are pulling their hair out over this. He has a setup for installing and modifying Linux Mint ver. 11.04 to prevent having various annoying bugs.

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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
