Windows: Pressure sensitivity does only work after second start
andreasb242 opened this issue · comments
On the first start pressure sensitivity is not available, after restart it's working.
As this is probably a GTK issue there will probably be no real fix, instead create a workaround.
After testing I found out:
start Xournal++, do not touch with the pen
start again, touch with the Pen. Does not work
start the 3rd time: working
So it don't matter how many times it's started, it needs pen contact and then a restart. Strange, and really hard to find a workaround.
Also, just to note that xournal does this too (presumably b/c its underlying GTK bug).
Yes, this is a GTK Bug, I found it already, but had no time to fix it.

I got a hint on my other Merge Request: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/gtk-3-24/gdk/win32/gdkdevicemanager-win32.c#L1065
The axes count is initialized dynamically on init. My guess is now, that this count is not there, if the pen has not yet touched the screen. I didn't check this yet, but it would produce exactly the current behavior.
I could confirm this behavior, but I didn't get my mac pull merged yet, so I wont work on two GTK pulls at the same time.
I have a Surface Pro4 and my Stylus is always recognized as a normal mouse. I have tried the workarounds from above, but they dont't work. I have the Xournal++ Version 1.0.12

Please try #1151.
You will have to compile by hand though.

I have compiled and tried it, but it does not recognizes any input devices. The stylus is still working like a normal mouse.
Did you activate the new input system in the settings and set the specific device class for your devices?
Is there help I could provide to get this resolved?

Same for me. Any updates on this? SurfacePro (2017).

I have this issue too, on the latest 1.0.18. The above PR is merged, but only one device comes up when configuring input devices.
I have a Dell Inspiron 7586, which uses the same pen tech as Surface devices (and is compatible with Surface pens). It works on Linux, but not Windows.
Any progress on this? Should I create a dedicated issue?
It seems that our issue is caused by #1346.
I just installed 1.0.19 and no pressure witrh Wacom trablet on Win 10 no matter how many times I restart. This used to work in the 1.0.18 :(
I have the same issue on ROG Flow X13 which have the same pen tech as Surface.
Have you tried version 1.1.0-hotfix.1 ?
Now I have tried it, it fixed my problem. Thanks.
I am closing the issue, since the problem was fixed in GTK+ 3.24.30, which is contained in the 1.1.0-hotfix.1 release.
The note in the readme can be removed.
