Description amaliadumitru2426 2022-09-10 10:58:04 UTC
I use an XP-pen DECO 03 Graphic Pen Tablet.

After updating to version 5.1.0, the app became pretty much unusable.
1. The pen pressure doesn't work at all while using the pen; it's like I'm drawing using a mouse instead, no matter the brush. It is not a issue with my tablet/pen, as it works perfectly fine with other drawing programs.
2. When trying to use the pen, the cursor simply wont follow its movements on the screen, as if I'm holding in in place. So, I can't see properly where the brush stroke is about to end up. That's not the case when using the mouse, though. Only when using the pen and graphic tablet.
3. When trying to use the buttons on my pen to switch between pen and eraser, the brush will remain the same, completely unchanged. The only way is by switching it myself manually.

Can you please look into it? Thank you very much.
