SUMMARY On devices with pen/stylus input on a rotateable screen (convertible laptops, tablets, ...), the pen input isn't rotated together with the screen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Get a laptop with pen/stylus support 2. In System Settings -> Display & Monitor, set normal orientation, or enable automatic rotation and have your device in regular orientation 3. Verify that pen/stylus input is at the correct position by hoverint your pen over the screen, the mouse pointer should appear directly under the pen 4. Rotate the screen by turning your device or manually choosing a different orientation OBSERVED RESULT Pen/stylus input doesn't align with the displayed content anymore: Hovering the stylus over the screen will show the stylus marker / mouse pointer in a different location, depending on the rotation. EXPECTED RESULT Pen input directly on a screen should align with the screen at all times. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 43 KDE KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0 Qt Version: 6.10.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Ideally add a new setting under System Settings -> Drawing Tablet -> Display -> Orientation to automatically follow the screen orientation.
Hint: Finger input on the touch screen is not affected, it is always aligned with the displayed content in all screen orientations.
Update: It actually works correctly, but not with the default settings. Those settings in drawing tablet -> display work as intended: Map to screen: select the screen with digitizer Orientation: default Mapped Area: stretch and fill Any other settings result in weird behaviour, especially with another screen attached. Maybe make those the default settings when a screen with a digitizer is detected? The current default settings may make sense for a drawing tablet, but not for pen on screen. Or is it difficult to distinguish between digitizer and drawing tablet?
