Curser lags/gets stuck with tablet

Hey, I am experiencing a problem with my Wacom Bamboo tablet.

When I put the pen on the pad and hold it down at one point, a loading circle appears around the curser. If I then move the curser it lags for a while and I don't see where it's going. The line appears (usually crooked - especially when drawing details) as soon as the lag is over (about 300ms??).

If I just start drawing a line it does the same thing, just without the loading circle animation thing.

I do not experience this problem when using my mouse.

Firefox 11.0, Win Vista (not kidding)

I hope this is understandable and I would appreciate any advice, thanks!

Update: I had "hold to right click" selected. Now being unselected te loading ring is gone and the lag is a bit shorter but still annoying.

Was it always like that for you, or did it just start today?

I'm having that lag too since I started: I began to draw and then at random it's like I grab the canvas and move it around the screen, then the brush still drawing a line following the cursor like if I still pressing down the pen (thank God for that undo button). It gets annoying sometimes.

Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch, Safari 5.1.5 & Opera 11, Mac OS X 10.7.3.

Thanks for the attention. (´・ω・`)

Do you see that issue in the Sandbox as well?

http://drawception.com/sandbox/

If so, can you give me the steps to reproduce it? Thanks.

@Reed: Here is the video I made about that. I don't know what I did to reproduce it. In sandbox mode it appears that the bug isn't there the time I was using it.

This video is the same problem with Safari as specified in http://drawception.com/forums/bugs/1438/safari-thinks-i-want-to-drag-the-panel/ . . Thanks for you attention. ( ^-^)

I forgot to mention, that if I click in the canvas when I start to "drag it", it returns to normal.

thanks travis, actually I manage to live with the tiny lag I still have but deselecting those annoying move actions makes my life much more pleasant.

Thanks Hあnshin. I think this issue is fixed in the sandbox, which will be moving over to the regular game - so it should be fixed there as well, soon.

I've noticed with my pen and tablet that my Mac thinks I'm trying to 'drag' the image off the website and the webpage thinks I'm still drawing. It's annoying, but the undo button is helpful.

Finally attempted to play a game with my new tablet yesterday, got the same problem as OP. Rhinokio's link was perfect help. Thanks man!

It works but that's not a correct solution. Disabling pen and touch altogether in control panel will do this for every single application and windows shell, which is not very convenient if you like to navigate with your pen. All you really need to do, is to install Wacom's web plugin, this will add standard graphic tablet functionality to your web browser. Also, adding your browser to Wacom's preference file wouldn't hurt either.

Install this, then restart your browser(works like a charm for me under Mozilla). A bit of necro-posting, really but it might be helpful for new players.
