GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 53811
guides not working with Xinput
Last modified: 2004-03-22 11:59:45 UTC
When using a Wacom Graphire USB tablet (with either the mouse or the pen), guides cannot be used. GIMP switches to the move tool when you drag from the ruler, but no guide appears, and it doesn't seem to be there in some hidden form either. Doing the same with a PS/2 mouse works fine, AFAIK.
Yes, the same here with kernel 2.4.9, XFree 4.1.0, Gimp 1.2.2, GTK/GLib 1.2.8
I have trouble reproducing this problem with my WACOM Intuos. Would please one of you use "xev" and attach a trace of events when dragging?
Created attachment 5755 [details] xev output
Here is the xev output from USB Graphire under XFree86 4.1.0. For each of the buttons, I dragged once and clicked twice in the inner window.
I use a Wacom Graphire (USB) with XFree 4.2.x and have no problem whatsoever with the guides. Both GIMP 1.2.3 and latest GIMP from CVS work fine.
Changed target milestone of several bugs to 2.0 - these are not features, and don't look to me like blockers for a pre-release, but they have to be addressed before 2.0. Dave.
I suspect some bogus threshold setting in XF86Config being the reason for this and suggest closing as NOTABUG. Opinions?
Certainly not a threshold problem, as it also occurs with the mouse, which is not pressure-sensitive. It's fixed in 1.3.x, so it's not much of a problem anymore anyway.
If this is fixed in current CVS HEAD I suggest we close this bug report - it's unlikely to be fixed in gimp-1-2.
Changing milestone since it's fixed in 1.3
Closing as WONTFIX as suggested (it's fixed in 2.0)
