GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 167958
WACOM Graphire3 Tablet cursor does track correctly.
Last modified: 2005-02-21 17:37:04 UTC
Distribution/Version: XP Home SP1 and SP2 When my Wacom Graphire3 (6"x9") tablet pen or mouse is set to the "mouse mode" the cursor is randomly offset from the actual XY position on the GIMP window. This renders the program useless since edits do not take place under the cursor but at the offset location. Setting the tablet in the "pen mode" works as expected. I have tested this on two computers (XP SP1 and SP2) with the same behavior. I am using the program to make measurements on scanned pictures and precise cursor positioning is necessary. Other programs do not exhibit this behavior, they also don't have the capability to make measurements which is why I like GIMP.
That would be a problem in the wintab support in the GTK+ library. Please let us know what version of GTK+ your are using so that we can reassign your bug report.
I installed using gtk+-2.4.14-setup.exe.
Can you please update to gtk+-2.6.2, available from the same location and try again? We cannot file bug reports against gtk+-2.4 since it isn't any longer maintained.
Sorry, but I cannot find a windows version of gtk+-2.6.2, can you point me in to the right location?
It was suggested that the following be merged with this bug report. I am using the program to make measurements on scanned pictures. I zoom out, pick a starting point and then move to the ending point. If the end point is out of view and I move the cursor past the edge the image it pans as expected but it will not stop once until it reaches the edge of the window. The end point cannot be selected if it is not in the image after stopping.
Same place you got the 2.4.14 binaries from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gtk+-2.6.2-setup.zip
Thanks, I just followed the links on the GIMP page to http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html and 2.4.14 is the highest rev available there. I will install and see what happens. Thanks for the help. Dave
OK, I removed the old GTK+ files and installed 2.6.2. Sadly, both problems still exist. Any more ideas? BTW, thanks for the quick response on a Sunday. Dave
Well, we will reassign the report to GTK+ now.
Thanks for your help. How will I find out the status? Dave

The problem with relative/mouse mode is already known, see bug #154657. I'll mark this report as a duplicate of that, and reopen and reassign bug #167960 as that is unrelated to this bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 154657 ***
