does your wacom double click for no reason?

hawken

Mine does.

do you think it's the nib?

I have no idea where my replacements are. I have all the latest drivers and so on.

Check your click sensitivity settings under the mouse and pointer options. That may make a difference.

Windows also has a slew of settings that will do double clicks, right clicks, etc via gestures and holding the pen down/still. Check in the Pen & Tablet Settings as well as Input settings. There are a few that drive me insane that need destroyed.

Lately, ive been having problems with (i think) my Tablet selecting the brush tool in photoshop while im on another tool.

I find sometimes too, id bump the buttons on the pen, by default i think they're programmed to be doubleclick.

Mine did that a while ago, something got stuck in the pen so it clicked the whole time.

Did you check if there is permanent pressure on the pen in that wacom panel?

hawken

I checked the settings and have double click set to delay. But that just makes clicks "sticky". So I turn off double click all together.

The settings for the pressure are on firm.

My main problem is drop downs and drawing polygons; it'll often close the poly or not let me see the drop down (which can only be an un-required double click).

Will change the nib tomorrow and see what happens.

When you change the nib, blow (try not to spit) in there make sure no gunk/grime/dust/semen got in there. I would not use compressed air, too strong.

thats gold advice man, you dont want semen on your wacom.

I've had some issues like that before but they are pretty random and usually related (i presume) to the OS, and go away with a restart.

Check the rubber around the buttons. I had a pen button that was so sensitive that if I squeezed the rubber it would trigger a button click.

Holy grip man. I think it was your monster hands.

Ha!

The rubber was really soft and spongy a lot softer than the replacement they sent me. They sent me a package with a new pen and a flattened box to assemble and mail back the old one... yea didn't do that. I kept using it and got used to squeezing the rubber to click but then it got worse and I switched, what a shock that was, took a few days to adjust.

Don't drop your pen ! I hate when I do it.

I had this happen to be but I bought a totally new pen just because it was a few years old.

This just happened to one of my guys at work today. It's a side-effect of one of Windows' automatic updates. He just did a fresh install of his driver and it worked fine.
