Drawing Tablet support (Wacom)

Hi, using a Wacom Tablet, I can not click the boxes.
I have to click like 20-30 times to get the dialog

I’d upload a video but as new user I can not upload them atm.

Thanks ! That would be helpful. Does the Wacom clicks work like mouse clicks? If so the vid would help because in theory it should just work

I updated your account , you should be able to upload vids now

MacOS running Sonoma 14.6.1 and latest Wacom version

So you’re able to drag the pen to paint select cards , but you can’t drag the pen to drag cards or boxes either, or tap to open cards and boxes it looks like :frowning:
Can you let me know if you see any errors in the browser console log when you try dragging?

Everything works fine: Drag, resize, move, etc.
Card clicking to open cards works.
Just the Box clicking doesn’t work.

Let me know if you see any console errors . That might help me figure it out

Safari log when clicking a box several times:

Another thing found:

When I create a card that contains a link, when I click it with my Wacom pen, as a result it keeps the card in a “selected/draggable” state.
Expected: The link is opened.

Looks like nothing is detected in the Log:

Note: I clicked several times and the log doesn’t send additional

can you also do a recording of what happens on Browser Mouse Event Test Page ?
try with just holding down the pen, and tapping the pen

Holding down:

hmm that does look normal. another question, do you have this issue in other browsers? or just a specific one or the app?

Both Safari and Chrome, just Kinopio

I’ll see if I can use the Tablet in a different computer and get back to you.

The Slack app too. Sometimes I find myself dragging in Slack instead of clicking.

this might be the same issue Discord w a trackpad

the wacom looks to work like a mouse, i think the root cause is that in some cases you’re dragging the element you mean to click on by like a non-noticeable pixel or so, which basically cancels the click. the card has a deadzone accomodation to open itself even in the case of an accidental microdrag – but other items like boxes do not yet and need to be updated with this

Yeah, I think the issue with trackpads and pens is that, unlike a mouse, these two can have a “micro-drag” by the fingers’ lack of precision compared to an “inert” mouse that you just click but not move.

I have a beta that fixes the issue with boxes not opening when they’re microdragged. can you try to open boxes with your pen/trackpad and let me know if it works better now?
