Description Daniel Rogers 2003-11-24 04:57:33 UTC
I am putting this here to keep track of brush and tablet bugs and
ehancements.  I want to use it to keep track of ideas about the brushes and
painting tools.

This is something I want to work on in the future (after some more gegl
stuff is done).
Comment 1 Raphaël Quinet 2003-11-24 13:32:11 UTC
Wouldn't it be better to track the brush- and the tablet-related stuff
in two separate meta bug reports?

Some changes to the brushes (such as the history brush in bug #74554 or
the healing brushes in bug #109801) are totally independent of the
tablet support, while some other bug reports related to the tablet usage
outside of the image window (bug #115774) are not related to the
brushes at all.
Comment 2 Henrik Brix Andersen 2003-11-24 13:35:15 UTC
I was wondering the same thing.
Comment 3 Daniel Rogers 2003-11-24 15:39:18 UTC
Ahh, well, my original concept for this was really to track brush
changes, and tablet bugs that affected how the brushes were used. 
Basically because the tablet, since it is the most complicated input
device we support, puts the most strain on the brush drawing system,
and so enhancements related to how the tablet should behave are closly
related to enhancements to the brush and tool system.

I don't think my summary really reflected that.

On the other hand, if someone is changing the brush and tablet system
a lot, it would be useful to fix other bugs while he/she is at it.  I
was thinking of this as a task list for things to implement in a
new/improved tablet and brush system (which would probably be very
closely related.  eg. there would be things in the brush system for
supporting features only in the tablets).

GIMP [v2.6.10] Tablet Bug - Example 1

[Tablet Bug]

Well if this is still working... I got one for you. [This kind of thread, I believe, should be on the top of the list]

Tested on Windows 7 Pro, GIMP 2.6.6 and 2.6.10. - Tablet: Genius Mouse & Pen 12x9 with the new drivers.

-> Open GIMP
-> Create or open a new image
-> Use your tablet's pen and roll it over the image

Done, you'll notice that GIMP catches the X position with a negative offscreen value. 

Also, when you move it side to side, you'll notice that does not varies as expected.

I've uploaded 2 examples Using a 640 x 400 new image. One with the pen right on the lower left corner and the other on the lower right corner of the image.

Comment 9 Alistair 2010-11-13 12:30:28 UTC
I have the same problem but for me it seems to be with all images so even more important that it gets sorted.
Comment 10 senya 2013-12-25 23:36:49 UTC
I've placed bounty 30$ to bug 74554 that blocks this one.
Hope it will get fixed.
