Description Halla Rempt 2019-03-15 13:00:53 UTC
Between the krita 4.2.0 preview 2 and the HDR preview, the stylus has stopped working on with a Lenovo Yoga 920 and Windows 10. 

Symptoms: when trying to draw on the canvas, the cursor oscillates quickly between the forbidden cursor and the paint cursor. The active preset oscillates between two presets, maybe the previous and current on? No idea. When trying to paint, only the start of a line is painted, not the rest.

When opening the brush editor, painting works in the scratch pad. On trying to close the brush editor by clicking on the canvas painting on the canvas suddenly works smoothly. After closing the brush editor, clicking anywhere on the canvas opens the brush editor.

Comment 4 Halla Rempt 2019-03-16 13:44:49 UTC
Notes:

* We've now got a build option to disable our own tablet implementations
* When testing a build with this, on the Wacom Mobile Studio I find:

** If windows ink is enabled in the Wacom driver, the selected preset keeps returning to Basic 5, there is a forbidden cursor shown for a short while when approaching the tablet, editing brushes in the brush editor doesn't work intermittently, after opening the brush editor, it tends to popup again when clicking on the canvas. Driver version 6.3.33-3.

** With the Wacom Hybrid Companion, disabling Windows Ink in the wacom driver disables pen input completely. Enabling it enables pen input, without any of the problems reported for the MSP. Driver version 6.3.33-3.
Comment 5 Halla Rempt 2019-03-16 13:51:43 UTC
** WIth the Yoga, the brush editor works find and doesn't popup all the time, there is no forbidden icon shown when approaching the tablet, but the stylus gets reset to the default all the time.
Comment 6 Halla Rempt 2019-03-16 13:54:46 UTC
On the MSP, if Windows ink is disabled in the settings, there is no pressure support.

Comment 9 Alvin Wong 2019-03-17 07:25:51 UTC
If you would disable the Qt's pointer input messages support, I suggest doing so with Qt 5.12.2 since it contains this commit: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/commit/38504041148f2d1cffea6520ea448dd4171adb0b
Before this commit, Qt also uses pointer input messages for mouse events.

Though I suspect you might be able to just completely disable pointer messages support in Qt by hacking `QWindowsContext::user32dll.supportsPointerApi()` to return `false`, regardless of whether that commit is included or not.
Comment 10 Halla Rempt 2019-03-18 09:32:09 UTC
I'll first update Qt to 5.12.2, do a deps build and nightly build and test that.

Comment 12 Halla Rempt 2019-03-20 08:02:28 UTC
Okay, with 5.12.2 and our patch to disable wintab disabled, wintab still doesn't work. Windows Ink still is broken: it keeps reverting to the default preset. I'll try to disable both Qt's tablet implementations and revert to ours.

Tablet log with Windows Ink enabled in Wacom driver and Qt 5.12.2

After selecting a preset and returning the stylus to the canvas, the preset resets to the default one.

It looks like Qt generated a new stylus ID when the pen left and entered proximity, or perhaps it is using `POINTER_INFO::pointerId` (haven't checked the code). My implementation used `POINTER_INFO::sourceDevice` instead, assuming one pen per digitizer (I don't remember if this is guaranteed). If Krita associates a preset per ID, this would be why.

Comment 15 Halla Rempt 2019-03-25 14:08:35 UTC
Yes, Krita stores a preset per unique id: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtabletevent.html#uniqueId
Comment 16 Halla Rempt 2019-04-02 19:01:12 UTC
Build https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Krita_Nightly_Windows_Build/511/ properly disabled our own wintab/winink implementation and enables Qt's implementation.

On the Yoga 920 with wacom that only supports windows pointer api, everything works as expected: pressure, eraser barrel button, right-click barrel button.

On the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro, if windows ink is selected in the calibration panel, the eraser end works, the right-click barrel button works, the middle-click barrel button does not work, pressure wors. If the windows ink checkbox is disabled, nothing works (probably as expected, because the Windows Pointer API is present, so qt doesn't fall through to Wintab, because Qt seems to believe that Wintab was obsoleted with Windows 8).
Comment 17 Halla Rempt 2019-04-02 20:15:56 UTC
Note: for some reason the top part of the rocker switch gets redefined to double-click when you switch the wacom driver to windows ink. It can be sett to middle-click, and then panning works again.
Comment 18 Halla Rempt 2019-04-03 06:58:41 UTC
Test with build https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Krita_Nightly_Windows_Build/512 (no windows ink switch in the settings dialog, so this really is with Qt's tablet code):

* Yoga: everything works as expected.
* MSP: with windows ink enabled, works like on the yoga. Unless with the build I tested yesterday, setting the top barrel button to middle click doesn't do anything. If that works with our winink implementation, that could be another bug in Qt's? With WinInk disabled, nothing works.

Implement a switch for Tablet API in Qt

The patch allows switching of the Tablet API when we use Qt's own
implementation.

The patch is added to our build system, so the fix should appear
in nightlies very soon.

The patch has also been proposed to Qt:
