Bug Description
Binary package hint: gimp
Using kubuntu/9.10 on a lenovo x60 tablet PC (wacom).
When using gimp, I find that drawing with extended input devices causes all UI interaction outside of the drawing area to stop. For example, I can not click on menus, toolbox, etc. 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. I do not have this problem when using the mouse, only the tablet pen.
Here is an exact sequence that produces this result:
- start gimp, create new image
- select paintbrush tool
- draw in image
- now I can no longer click on menus or toolboxes (although they do respond to the mouse pointer rollover w/hilighting, tooltips, etc)
- click the image window title bar (focus switches from toolbox to image window)
- now I can interact with menus and toolbox again
- repeat!

Similar problem here, I was not able to use touchpad- /mouseclicks e.g. in "Save as"- and "Scale layer"-windows.
The solution for me was to set the mode of all devices to "disabled" in the extended input devices options, only device working in "window"-mode is the Wacom Graphire4 stylus. Now everything seems to work fine here.
