Description Sebastian Parborg 2024-09-27 12:32:58 UTC 
SUMMARY
If you are using a drawing tablet instead of a mouse, you can not interact or select anything in the Overview mode or in the task switcher (alt+tab) popup,

For the alt+tab popup, it seems like it is actively preventing the tablet cursor from entering the area.

In overview mode the tablet cursor simply freezes in place as it takes up the whole screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a drawing tablet with a pen
2. Invoke the "Overview" or the alt + tab pop up
3. Try to interact or select anything in these modes

OBSERVED RESULT
You can not interact with these with the tablet cursor forcing you to use a mouse.

EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't matter what pointer device you are using, you should still be able to interact features like these as if you were using a mouse.

Can reproduce. Let's use this one for Overview. Please open a new one for the alt-tab switchers. Thanks!
