Using Wacom Bamboo Pen and Touch in absolute mode.
The Wacom Pen and Touch appears to have a 1cm (approx) border outside the marked screen area (including where the buttons are) where it still detects pen movement (indicated by the white light turning red), however, when the pen moved outside the screen area (but still inside the active border area) three things happen that are unhelpful:
1) The pointer often stops short of the edge, making it difficult to access stuff like the Unity launcher.
2) The pen is treated as having been lifted, making it tricky to move scroll bars on the far right.
3) Vertical (when off the left/right edge) and horizontal (when off the top/bottom edge) are ignored.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 that's fully up to date using Important Security Updates and Recommended Updates.
Is this a bug, something wrong with my installation, or just how the current driver works?

Originally asked as question, was suggested I raised it as a bug. |
