Windows 8.1 Tablet Bug Reports

Post by neonnoodle »

I just wanted to report that in Windows 8.1 on a tablet device, if the screen orientation is rotated by turning the tablet, TVP sometimes becomes unresponsive and must be terminated.

Edit: Full specs:

TVP Pro 10.5.5, 32-bit
Asus VivoTab Note 8
Windows 8.1, 32-bit

Second Edit: I changed the title of the post so that I can continue to update with further bug reports.

Bug: TVP does not respond to the Right-Click functionality of the stylus side-switch, whether Wintab is checked or not. When the tablet driver has side-switch assigned to right click, TVP does not seem to register it. As a result, the only way to obtain right-click functions is to click-and-hold, but this is difficult as moving the cursor even 1 pixel during the hold period interrupts the function.

Bug: TVP sometimes crashes when the Windows 8.1 on-screen keyboard is switched into "split screen" mode -- even if TVP is not the active program.

The right-click through click-and-hold still appears not to work.

The Wacom tablet driver control panel allows me to set the side-switch functions. The Pen & Touch control panel in Windows 8 allows me to set the "click and hold" for right click, and this works on all other installed programs.

Here is the current setup:
- Front switch: Set to H for flipping backward
- Rear switch: Set to J for flipping forward
- click-and-hold for right click enabled

However, if I set either side switch for right click, it STILL doesn't always register in TVP. Sometimes the click-and-hold works for right-click in TVP (for example, when adding actions to a custom panel), but other times it does not. I can't figure out a pattern for when/why it works or doesn't.
