I can confirm it does not work. While painting, if I don't raise the
pen tip a bit (so that it does not touch the tablet anymore), I can't
pan. Actually this is the same when painting with the mouse: I can't
pan while the mouse left button is clicked, by adding a middle click
(or space bar).

I guess that could make sense that canvas-panning could make the the
current painting-in-progress in "pause". Not sure how the
implementation for this would be, but it could be worth checking out.

Could you please open a bug report about this:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GIMP
Please post the report link back on the mailing list after this.
Thanks.

Jehan

Yes. In hindsight that's probably an easier way of putting it. 
Or at least I would like to but it doesn't work in 2.8.

Are you saying that you start panning in the middle of painting a stroke?

I tried making one of the tablet buttons the space bar, and it still does
nothing if I'm already using the stylus in gimp.

I'm still using the same OS and tablet  as I was when it worked in 2.6 - Win 7
and a Wacom intuos 5. Unfortunately the tablet is massive and covers the whole
keyboard of my laptop, so the spacebar trick isn't really doable without lifting
the stylus.


I was hoping it was just a setting to enable for this like there was to make the
tablet usable in 2.8,  or a plugin or something.

This could be specific to your OS, but still working with my ancient wacom
tablet and Kubuntu 16

You could try pressing the space bar, that toggles the move canvas action here.

[Gimp-user] Panning whilst using a tool

[Gallifreya]

I've made the shift from 2.6 to 2.8 a couple of months ago (don't judge me, when
2.8 first came out I was only just working out 2.6 and all the settings were
intimidating, and after that I just forgot)

Anyway, in 2.6 if I was, for example, using a 30% opacity brush and wanted to
continue outside my current painting area, I could use the middle click button
on my stylus to grab the canvas, drag it over and continue without lifting the
pen - avoiding me having to try and line up my brush with the edge of the last
section I did to try and keep it from overlapping since I'm using a set opacity.

I could do the same thing if I wanted super precise selections - zoom in on the
image, select tool, drag, and without lifting the pen pan over to the rest of
what I wanted to select and continue.

In 2.8 I can't seem to do this. I reach the edge of my work area and have to
lift the pen to make the panning option work, so if I want to work with
opacities whilst zoomed in enough to see the detail of what I'm doing I have to
try and carefully line up edges on each visible section.

I'm sure there were more things I used this feature for but I can't think of
examples currently. Anyway is there a way to make this work again?
