SUMMARY
After upgrading to the beta on windows 11, using a tablet connected with super display(basically making it a touchscreen monitor), I was not able to zoom/rotate/pan with touch after doing it once already. This is a weird behavior is was definitely not an issue before I upgraded. Also, afterwards I downgraded to 5.2.15 afterwards and confirmed this issue is not happening there.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect your tablet as a screen.
2. Open krita.
3. Try to rotate, pan, or zoom using your fingers.
4. Stop doing #3 and remove your hand entirely.
5. Try step #3 again.
6. If it is not working, then change tools and try step #3 again.

OBSERVED RESULT
On step #3 from above, it works as expected. You are able to successfully pan/zoom/rotate the canvas. After Step #4, you will notice you can no longer do so without changing the tool.


EXPECTED RESULT
Expected a fluid ability to pinch, drag, and zoom with touch while relying on my stylus to do all the drawing.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The tablet im using a picassotab xl and connecting to windows 11 using the app "super display" with a corded connection. I am not using wifi connection because of a lag. I am using "windows 8+ point input..." in the canvas settings.

This is a very low priority bug for me, I just wanted to report it in case it was helpful. I find the app to be amazing and it does way more than I would ever need, but this makes the beta essentially useless to me since krita feels the best when I use my tablet on the windows version to allow me the power and cotnrol of windows with the free hand drawing of a tablet.

Either way...I hope this is helpful beta info.
