What input device are you using to perform the right click? A mouse? Stylus side button? Touchscreen press-and-hold? Two-finger touch gesture?

Which version of Krita are you using? If you are not using the latest 3.3.3, please update to it and try again.

version 4. have been using it since alpha came out. always updated to the latest release

this is a bug of some sort. probably Krita and Win10 related. it's not possible for me to use Krita without right-click

Huh... Which one of WinTab or Pointer Input API is enabled in the Krita tablet settings?
It is working for me with either settings.
What is the version of the Wacom driver you have installed?
Have you set the function of the side buttons to something else in the Wacom driver?
Can you try resetting the Wacom driver config with the Wacom driver configuration utility?

i've tested pretty much everything before i posted this

my Wacome is setup properly and it's working perfectly fine in all other apps...and i use a lot.

here's a list of my most used programs in which the tablets right-click is working perfectly fine:

-- 2D --
Photoshop
Painter
BlackInk
Alchemy

-- 3D --
Modo
3D Max
Zbrush
3D Coat
Blender
SketchUp
Substance Designer
Substance Painter

-- GAME ENGINE --
UE4
Unity

-- MUSIC APPS --
Presonus Studio One
Reason
Ableton Live
Sony SoundForge

as i wrote, i think it's a Krita and Win10 connected bug. what graphics card are you using?

Yeah ok but that means nothing because most of the applications you listed above doesn't even use the WinTab API at all.

Have you tried switching to the Pointer Input API? It would most definitely work.

Sorry but this doesn't help, you need to list the "everything" that you have tried to be meaningful. I doubt you've tried dumping your computer into a burning fireplace for example.

This sounds very much like an issue with the Wacom driver, neither Windows 10 nor Krita itself. Do all of these in order (and I mean everything exactly in the order I listed, don't tell me you've tried these in some random order):

1. Clear the Wacom configuration
2. Uninstall the existing Wacom driver (and I mean uninstall, not simply installing another version over it)
3. Reboot Windows (not powering off and then powering on)
4. Download and install the latest version of Wacom driver
5. Reboot Windows again
6. Clear the Wacom configuration again
7. Reboot Windows again

If this doesn't work, then fine I have no clue what's going on. Perhaps taking a tablet log (https://docs.krita.org/KritaFAQ#What_if ... y_Krita.3F) might help figuring what's wrong, but I doubt we can find anything weird from it.

nothing to do with my Wacom. it's Krita in combination with WIN10. my Wacom works like it should
please don't tell me to re-install drivers and reboot my computer. if it was that easy i wouldn't be here asking for help
as you can see, i'm using quite a lot of apps and i've been building my own computers since mid 90'.

talking about throwing my computer on fire is just ridiculous in every aspect, so please don't go there
so now when you know my level of knowledge and understanding, can this be fixed somehow or can it not? or should i report it as a bug?

thank you.

I think Alvin's just trying to make sure there's not some secret bit of config sticking behind that is causing all of this mess.

We cannot reproduce this issue on any windows laptops we own, so giving suggestions like these is the best we can do. There's no point in reporting this either as we don't know what is causing it, and we cannot debug it beyond asking you to try things. I guess we'll have to wait until someone has exactly the same issue and is willing to go through Alvin's list of steps.

No it is not, because that was a bug in Huion Drivers, and you have a Wacom tablet.
