I've just noticed that another commit of mine has landed in master, and with that, pressure sensitivity should be basically functional in PaintTool SAI 2. Just tested the latest revision (ddec23013e39b563a3a50c0fe42c2ae8b518d538) with a freshly unzipped SAI 2 (sai2-20190812-32bit-en) and a new WINEPREFIX, and it appears to work.

There are still issues:

- At least on my setup, different kinds of cursors (like erasers) are treated the same as the pen.

- SAI 2 spits out a bunch of errors when you first start drawing (but seems to function anyways.)

- SAI 1 is still broken without additional patches. As mentioned before, the way Wine handles Wintab contexts is not accurate. However, the behavior is different than I thought and has nothing to do with what position on the screen the tablet is at. (Playing with Wacom Wintab, it actually appears that it has more to do with what window is in the foreground as to what contexts receive events.)

I have not looked into your problems yet, but since a lot of stuff is changing it might help to periodically check and see if anything has improved. I suspect the issues in PS2018 are probably a lot different from the issues in SAI. I don't have a modern copy of Photoshop, so I have been testing with a very old version (which does not seem to have this problem.)
