Video of the icon behavior

SUMMARY

I have a One by Wacom (M) tablet, ID 056a:037b. I encountered a problem that makes this tablet unusable for me.

When making a click (click and release) on an icon of the panel, this icon remain sticked to the cursor and is dragged around the panel icons. It does not happen for every icon I click on, but very very often. I am using the icons-only task manager in the panel. I attached a short video (no audio) where I try to explain this issue.

No problem using the tablet inside the applications (excluding Dolphin, for which I will make a separate report).

These are the Wacom packages installed on my system (Arch Linux daily updated):
extra/libwacom 2.12.2-1
extra/wacomtablet 6.1.4-1 (plasma)
extra/xf86-input-wacom 1.2.2-1

This is the result of the command modinfo:
$ modinfo wacom | grep version
version:        v2.00
srcversion:     4B1D5D49AF6632F92E5A456

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click on an icon of the panel.
2. Then click on another icon of the panel.
3. The first clicked icon appear under the cursor, as I would want to move it to another position inside the panel (i.e., like if I made a click and drag action).

OBSERVED RESULT

The previously clicked icon appear under the cursor when clicking on a second icon and the first icon is moved around the other icons on the panel. In this situation, if you make a click, the icon will be moved to the position of the cursor in that moment. In other words, the click on the first icon is understood by the system like the click was a click-and-drag action.

EXPECTED RESULT

When you click an icon, this should be released immediately, instead of being dragged around the other panel icons.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. Talking to other people that use KDE and a Wacom tablet like mine, they told that thay had this issue in the past, but not today.
2. Regarding the calibration of the tablet, I can say that it is perfectly calibrated. For example, using Xournal++ or Krita, I see that the cursor points perfectly where I want to.
3. I tried a live ISO of Linux Mint and this issue is not present in its panel.

I forgot to inform you that, after updating to Plasma 6.2, the bug seems to have disappeared. Since then, it has not occurred again, except rarely, so for me the bug is resolved. I’m changing the status to resolved.
