Description Johnny 2026-07-05 20:39:57 UTC
DESCRIPTION
This happens in Wayland sessions only.

Even though the screen pointer is shown, and can be moved around with the pen, nothing react to the pointer's presence, clicks or drags, thus rendering the pen 100% useless.

It works perfectly with the pen in X11 sessions.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to do anything with the pen in the tiles editor.

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing react to the pointer's presence, clicks or drags.

EXPECTED RESULT
The same as when using a mouse.
