New Issue

2017-12-13 11:33:32 +01:00

System Information
Windows 7 64bits
Two monitors

Blender Version
2.79
It's broken since I remember, only that I ignored the problem.

Short description of error
When you uses multiple windows in same blender instance and a wacom tablet blender lost the pressure or "focus" of the wacom and only go back when you click in the secondary window. And sometimes blender don't paint the grease pencils

The bug affect to painting modes, sculpt, and grease pencil drawing. The problem, that I was ignored because click in the secondary window to obtain presure is not a big problem. But now I have see that also you can have problems with grease pencil, creating "invisible" strokes that don't work with bsurfaces. Blocking the workflow until you "imagine" the problem or close and open blender other time.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender and create a secondary window with 3D view (in my test work with other panels themes)
Click in the secondary window
Open other program, browser for example (chrome)
hide the secondary window
focus in chrome
focus in primary 3D view
Try to paint

Notes:

In my test it works with windows in different or same monitor, I don't know if it affects to the problem.
Some times it doesn't work and you must try so iterations of Blender -> Chrome ->Blender -> hide secondary. But I obtain it making few iterations, in less that one minute

I cant seem to be able to reproduce this (but I am on linux gnome). Could you confirm this on other machines? Does this happen on other OSes as well?

Alberto Velázquez commented

2018-01-06 00:00:30 +01:00

I have never tried two monitors/windows in linux or macOS. But I can confirm this in Windows 7 64bits in a lot of machines and configurations.

Philipp Oeser commented

note that I only tested this with one monitor, still possible this happens with two (but report mentioned this also fails with only one monitor)
A bit speculative, but tagging as windows until someone can reproduce elsewhere...

After some test I can't reproduce with one monitor in macOS, so probably is only a problem in windows systems.

In order to add support for specific device we need to be able to have access to the device. So marking this for now as Known Issue, with low priority and needs developer to reproduce.

Raising the priority of this a bit, I think it's a fairly important issue.

i'm not sure if i can repro it in the current state, but while testing D6675 this one was real easy to trigger, as soon as the blender window does not have the focus you lose pressure

If you are able to reproduce easily you are free to check it, actually all my computer have change since the bug and because the lockdown I can't go to pick the old parts

Leaving open, there are 3 other bug reports merged into this one so it's not just about one case.

OK, I only closed the bug by petition of a dev by blender.chat.

There have been significant changes to tablet handling on Windows today. Can those who had this problem verify if this is now working correctly in the latest build?

Been a while I've used the tablet, but now that I try the behavior is still the same for me: only main window gets pressure.

I also have this issue with Blender 2.9

I am using a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 graphics tablet.

When I open a new window in the same instance of Blender pressure sensitivity no longer works in the original window.
