pen/tablet support broken(?)

[ihm-tswow]

Older version of noggit worked with pen/tablets, but doesn't seem to work with this version anymore. Specifically camera dragging is supposedly broken. I'll grab my tablet later and check this out.

I can reproduce this, does not work in script version but works in https://github.com/wowdev/noggit3/releases/tag/test-2992

I noticed it also does that input delay thing with unsupported applications, so maybe this is a qt version thing?

[ihm-tswow]

confirmed qt version thing (that or I'm lacking somethng), it's still broken if I build the version at https://github.com/wowdev/noggit3/releases/tag/test-2992

[ihm-tswow]

That release used qt version 5.9, and I'm currently using qt version 5.15

@bloerwald do you use a specific qt package for tablet support? I'll try qt5.9 later but I'm really low on disk space atm lol

Nope, I am not aware of any requirement on version.

• 5.9.4 fixes a Wacom bug on macOS
• 5.10.0 fixes a bug on X11.
• 5.11.0 fixes Apple Pencil support on iOS
• 5.12.0 fixes [QTBUG-65199] enterEvent() and leaveEvent() now occur when a hovering drawing tablet stylus enters or leaves a widget. and adds event compression on Windows 8+. I would suspect this is the version that breaks it.
• 5.12.4 fixes a bug on X11.
• 5.13.0 fixes a bug on X11.
• 5.15.0 deprecates QTabletEvent::device(), hiResGlobalXY() and fixes a bug on X11.

You may also have fudged up with "bundling" Qt. Like everything, tablets are a plugin, qt.qpa.input.tablet. It should be provided by platforms/qwindows.dll or platforms/qdirect2d.dll, but you have those in the zip at least, so I wouldn't assume they are missing.

Qt ships examples you can optionally install, which includes a tablet one. You may want to double check whether that example works with the new Qt version before doing the entire 5.9 hassle.

Could not get anything to work with 5.15, but with 5.9.9 it works. Might binsearch to find a newest working version, but for now I have no issues with 5.9
