Wacom tablet "Circle of Death"

[davidedric]

Following on from an earlier thread about tablet size. I was being plagued by a mysterious circle that appeared around the point where my Wacom Bamboo pen touched the tablet (not on all apps, for some reason).

Anyway, it turns out to be a Windows 7 "feature". If you have a Wacom tablet and Win 7, and are being bothered, here's what to do:

Go into Control Panel
Double Click on "Pen and Touch"
Click on "Press and hold"
Click on "Settings"
In the Settings, uncheck the box labelled "Enable press and hold for right-clicking"
Click "OK"
Click "Apply"


Job done

Cheers,

Dave

Well done, Dave. A good bit of diagnosis.

Don't think I even had the option on my now ancient Bamboo tablet. But if I did, I turned it off.
