Krita pen drivers for the Wacom 22 just stop working and the mouse swaps with the pen on dual screen interaction. I then have to do a repair . This happens randomly every 2 weeks or so.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce




using a Krita on a Wacom 22 HD Cintique, Windows 7 PC with dual screen operation enabled.

What kind of "repair" do you mean? If it means reinstalling the drivers, then it's not a bug in Krita...

Hi,
sorry for not being detailed enough.
When I say repair i pick the Krita download and run it, when it offers me 
the choice of install or repair I pick repair. After this it works agin for 
another couple of weeks.
Last night I downloaded the latest version from the Krita site and have not 
had the problem so far.

I hope this is more helpful.

If actually reinstalling krita "fixes" the issue then I suspect that your drive might be dying. Krita doesn't store any configuration in the install directory, so you replace an old installation with a new one, and that fixes it, somehow the files in the install directory have become corrupt. The harddrive might be to blame, or a broken virus scanner that quarantines a file, or something else: but it's not a bug in Krita.
