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 tool - sometimes you get a stray point (x = 0 or y = 0) added to your stroke, resulting in long horizontal or diagonal splodges where you don't want 'em (some kind of race condition I expect) I'm using vanilla Xubuntu, so there's just xfce4 & its desktop - no unity/metacity/... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786317 Title: wacom intuous3 often fails to draw stroke (release click not recognised?) 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.
