Description Henry Pfeil 2020-08-03 19:34:03 UTC

SUMMARY
Version 3.3.0? Pen Relative Mode no longer works post-3.2.0. Since Windows10 has only Absolute Mode, maybe it was intentional?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Wacom Intuos BT M (0378) Tablet, Stylus Tracking Mode to Relative Mode

OBSERVED RESULT
Stylus Tracking Mode remains in Absolute Mode.

EXPECTED RESULT
Stylus behaves as if Relative Mode works, just like it does in Version 3.2.0.

Fix xsetwacom adapter

even without this, and forcing screen space to destkop will override
profile setting

Hi, thanks for reporting, this wasn't intentional. This should be fixed with last commit in 3.3 branch. I haven't tagged it yet so I guess it's going to be the 3.3.0 version.
