(Making a paintbrush stroke after I restore the window or click a mini-window title bar also works, though with all the described caveats.) (I have the mini windows set to “utility” in the “Window Management” settings, by the way-I’m not sure if that’s the default.) Clicking the title bar doesn’t even work for me usually, I minimize and then restore the entire GIMP window, or click on the titlebar for one of the mini windows, and then the UI works again. If I try to click something in the UI, like a menu or the sliders in the tool options, immediately after the first stroke, GIMP will not recognize it. GIMP will only recognize every other stroke I make I suppose it’s requiring me to click on the canvas area again so that it knows I’m still painting. It will, however, recognize a third stroke, but not a fourth, a fifth, but not a sixth, etc.

If I try to make a second stroke immediately after, GIMP will not recognize it. I make one paintbrush stroke using the stylus Also, I’m getting a similar bug in Inkscape, so I think this must have to do with an underlying, common library. It might be even worse right now for me, if I make a paintbrush stroke in GIMP using the stylus, the UI will not recognize my next stylus action, even if that action is to draw another stroke.

now I can interact with menus and toolbox again click the image window title bar (focus switches from toolbox to image window) now I can no longer click on menus or toolboxes (although they do respond to the mouse pointer rollover w/hilighting, tooltips, etc) Here is an exact sequence that produces this result: I do not have this problem when using the mouse, only the tablet pen. No other programs are affected, and I can usually restore UI interaction by switching the active window (specifically, clicking the title bar on the image window and then the toolbox window restores interaction. For example, I can not click on menus, toolbox, etc.

When using gimp, I find that drawing with extended input devices causes all UI interaction outside of the drawing area to stop. Using kubuntu/9.10 on a lenovo 圆0 tablet PC (wacom).
