Assuming I am correct in what I understand from the device, of course. Also this time I made sure the original events are still around but unprocessed by the input layer :) So it would be nice if you could try the artifacts of job 51600738[4]. Again, download them (udev-hid-bpf_0.1.0-4-g5ab02ec.tar.xz), unpack, sudo ./install --verbose, then unplug/replug the artist Pro 24. Then, I'll need the following sequence (ideally repeated twice or three times, given that your last record show a slight difference in the first and second attempt): - outside of the proximity of the sensor, press the upper button - approach the stylus to the surface keeping the upper button pressed - touch the surface with the tip while holding the upper button pressed - release the upper button while keeping the tip pressed (like previously) - press once again the upper button while keeping the tip touching the surface (like previously) - lift of the pen, keeping the upper button pressed, and still in range of the sensor - remove the pen from the proximity of the sensor entirely (move away 20 cm or so), while still keeping the upper button pressed It's actually longer to describe than to execute :) > > > > > you could also give a test of the artifacts of job 51469284[3]. > > > > > > The points to check are: > > > - if you right click while touching the surface, do you still get only > > > a right click or some weird glitches in addition to it? > > > - if you right click while not touching (hovering), no glitches? > > > > I tested.
