Tablet+Pen, weird behavior.

Hi FF team. When using a Tablet (Wacom Intuos 3) with a pen, the Right Mouse Button (RMB) on a pen gets a little delay or better doesn't work some times. I need to click more than once to get the contextual menu in the main interface or edit mode such as the preset tab, settings to get to copy color, the large preview to zoom in/out and so on. If I click RMB by using the mouse over the tablet instead, it works ok. It isn't a problem with the button on my pen once I alternate the software (ALT+TAB) I get to use the Pen RMB normally in other softwares. Doing some tests I've noticed that it seems FF requires that the mouse pointer needs to be very static for some while at some position to get to accept the RMB command and I can't move the pen while clicking on RMB, which is a little hard when holding a pen due the shaking hand. So, that's why with the mouse it works ok, because the mouse gets to be static/stopped over the tablet making no moves on the cursor when using RMB. It isn't happening only with 1.011. I had this issue a long time, but never remembered to report it.

Cheers,

Thanks it isn't only me. I thought I was starting to have Parkinson's disease and didn't get to make the pointer get stopped with the pen. :O)

Hey Crapa, is it a Wacom Intuos 3 too or is it another model/brand? Just a curiosity.

Yup, Wacom Intuos 3.

Hi all!

This is my first post to the forum though I've been using FF for several months and just love it..... when it isn't crashing.

I'm using an Intuos 3 tablet with the mouse in FF. FF has been extremely unstable. I'm sorry I don't have a list of the error messages. More often than not when FF crashes, it cannot generate an error report. It disables my ability to access Windows Task Manager and many times the program is still running in memory and I cannot access it. I cannot log off Windows. I cannot restart the PC using Windows. I'm am forced to do a hard reboot of the PC. OUCH! If I am using it as a plugin for PhotoShop CS3, Photoshop also crashes.

In the last couple of days, I have noticed that the crashes occur when I use the scroll wheel of the mouse to scroll through the presets or filter lists. It seems to be OK to use it to zoom in the preview window. FF has not crashed since I stopped using the scroll wheel. This is EXTREMELY difficult for me, as I use the wheel extensively. LOL

I hope there is some dialog going on between FF and Wacom to resolve this bug soon.

Just sharing!

It happens most of the time, even with the latest update. Well, for me, that is.

I used to think I have a rather steady hand.

Nope, plain old windows PC.

Strangely enough, the context menu launches reliably in ANY other application and throughout windows, even when the tip is jittering strongly.

Can you give some more sample question and answers. How great your info is! It really useful for me. Thanks.
