When trying to draw in Krita I always have a double cursor - one is the normal brush, the other is the windows pointer that flips around at changing distance and only visible on the menues/borders, not on the canvas. When drawing that second cursor is clicked as well, making drawing more or less impossible, as there is almost always a second function being activated (up to minimzing Krita when it hits the top border). Tablet is a Wacom 2 A5. (did all steps to switch off any annoying Win7 "Tablet PC" feedback, since then tablet works perfectly smooth) It only happens with Krita, within all other applications I tried(Inkscape, Paint.net, etc) there is only a single cursor, doing brush strokes. (When I draw with the mouse, there is only one cursor, or rather the brush is "left" at the canvas when I go to a menue and "picked up" when I return to the canvas. With the tablet it seems to want to move both points at once) Thanks for any help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Krita 2. Make new file 3. Start to draw Actual Results: Two cursors moving, one as brush, one outside the canvas activiating other functions. Expected Results: Only a single brush/pointer should be there. Wacom tablet driver is 6.2.0w5, latest version vor this tablet Intuos2 A5 Windows 7 64bit
I ve seen this reported for a huion tablet as well (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336518), so I'm beginning to suspect there might be another configuration or setting that's causing this issue. I don't see it myself, but I mostly use a cintiq hybrid companion or an intuos 3.
Oh -- and could you check with the current 2.9 beta 3, whether that fixed the issue? https://krita.org/item/last-beta-release-for-krita-2-9/
Wow, that was fast :) Thank you for your replies. I just did a test run with 2.9 beta 3, unfortunately it did not solve the problem. A more detailed description: When I exit the canvas in the lower right corner, then move the arrow pointer near the top of the screen and re-enter the canvas, it jumps down to about the middle(height) - same on the left side. It is almost as if there is only a very small patch in the canvas I can actually draw on before the cursor jumps out to the border. When using the mouse, points of exit and re-entry are perfectly aligned. Maybe that can narrow down the problem a bit.
I stand corrected. Very much so. While digging through all settings, system, programs, tablet, I finally noticed that for whatever reason, the projection for my wacom pen was set to mouse mode. I changed to pen mode, and until now everything seems to work fine, no glitchy double cursor in Krita. Now I'm just wondering why this didn't cause hiccups in the other programs. Anyway, sorry for all the fuss. Maybe there is some similar setting for the huion tablets.
Thanks for testing!
