Description Breanna Williams 2020-03-12 08:48:04 UTC
SUMMARY
I am using an A15Pro drawing tablet and while drawing it will go off-center from where my pen is. At some point whenever I would try to use the pen again, the curser goes flying off the screen and makes it unusable unless I use my mouse pad 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Unplug the tablet and plug it back in (didn't work)
2. Messed with the tools to see if something wasn't right
3. restart the program

OBSERVED RESULT
The only thing that worked was restarting Krita itself but, it would happen again first slightly going off-center from where the pen was touching and the curser was showing and then disappeared again making it unusable.

EXPECTED RESULT
To fix the problem permanently but didn't work.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
On the screen it shows where my pen was but whenever I drew it would draw either off to the side or above where my pen was.

The mousepad would work perfectly fine, it is only the drawing tablet

Krita doesn't have any tablet-specific code on macOS -- all we do is use what the OS and the tablet driver sends us. I'm not familiar with an A15Pro tablet -- what brand is that? I do know that Huion on macOS is impossible to use.

Does the tablet tester (see https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/preferences/tablet_settings.html#tablet-tester) also show this offset?
