Description fabrice salvaire 2025-01-08 14:30:29 UTC

I encounter many issue with Gimp using a Wacom tablet.

Moreover, I noticed that depending on the widget in the UI, a stylus (left) click works as expected, and sometimes I have to perform a down action. It means move out the surface and go down to click.

When I click on a window icon on the task bar while on the surface, I got unexpected actions, sometimes it does a right click action.

I also have Gremlins in my mouse (left) click. And I don't know if it is a hardware issue (mouse contact) or a bug.  I also noticed a left mouse click reacting as a right click.

input: set the current surface correctly for tablet events
