Stylus Won't Move On Canvas

Thu May 11, 2017 6:17 pm
I'm using a UGEE 1910B tablet and it worked fine until today. Now, I can move the cursor with the stylus anywhere on the program. But when I move it onto the canvas, it just stays in one spot until I click - in which case it allows me to move whilst painting, but draws a huge line from where it froze to where I clicked. Using my mouse is fine. No problems. But the stylus has this bug.

As I said, this hasn't happened before today.

Is there anything that'll fix it?

Having the same issue with a UC Logic Yiynova MVP20U+FE tablet.

I am in Absolute mode.

Further Data: This seems to only be affecting the brush tool for me, none of the others.

Further Data: When I am in the Brush Engine, the Practice pad where i can check changes tracks my hover just fine, just not int the actual program itself with brush selected.

Edit: Updated from version 3.1.4 to the 3.2 release candidate, problem persists.

Maybe a driver error. I'm on Ugee 2150, which I used on Windows 8.1, before coming over to Linux. No issues here, and with you both reporting issues and with devices that use a similar driver, it makes me think a Windows update may have broken the graphics driver. A very thorough removing of the driver and reinstalling it might fix things. Otherwise, Ugee are good at updating drivers, if it's a larger update Windows have done.

I have just bought a surface pro 2017 and I'm having a similar problem. The brush cursor won't move. Strangely it does work in brush preview. I have been to the microsoft website and downloaded the recommended drivers listed in the FAQ below but still no luck.

Any ideas?

*******
For the Surface Pro 4, You have to download/install two things from the Download Surface Pro 4 Drivers and Firmware Official Microsoft Download Center Microsoft page.

The Surface Pro Drivers, (SurfacePro4_Win10_161201_0.msi)
WinTab, (Wintab_x64_1.0.0.20.zip)
For the Surface Pro 3, you might get by with only the WinTab driver.

For the newer Surface Pro (2017), you should be able to use the same WinTab driver.

When in stalling microsoft's wintab drivers, make sure you use the right architecture, and make sure you separately install the msvc 2010 runtime which, for some incomprehensible reason, is not part of the driver installer. If your surface pen doesn't work in Krita that can have only one reason: the driver is not correctly installed.

I had previously installed those drivers, but I did it again: uninstalled everything, including Krita, reinstalled the drivers first and then Krita again and now magically it works. Go figure ...

Thanks very for your time and the quick response.
