hey i dont know if my last thing posted but basically
if i use my wacom tablet with krita an annoying settings popup thing appears blocking my canvas and stopping me from drawing. its a circle that gives you pen and colour options or something. i know its meant to be a useful shortcut but it means i havent been able to draw anything except the odd scribble in months.
it didnt used to happen. its the same tablet as ever. ive got a new laptop and therefore a new version of krita, but it happened near the end of me using my old laptop too.
both tablet and krita work fine separately.
why is this happening? its very frustrating. if i cant sort it out ill have to move to another program, even though krita was my favourite for a long time.

Someone is telling me that you should turn off the right-click=touch+hold, which is a tablet usability function of windows for... screen tablets. But for some reason windows thinks that if you have a drawing tablet you want to use these accesibility features, it is typically recommended to turn all of these off in the settings.

great thank you @therahedwig !! problem solved. knew there was probably something simple and silly i needed to do.
