Stuck on Mouse Left Pressed until Pen Touch

[FranciscoTosi]

When I touch the tablet with my hand instead of the pen, it sends a mouse left pressed signal, but it does not send a release when I stop. This means that I cannot left click until I touch the tablet with the pen. Once I do, it is fixed until the next time I use touch.

Happy to provide any necessary info.

I doubt this is an issue with my plugin, what is your binding set to.
Also what filters are you using.

A diagnostic would be appreciated (Help > Export Diagnostics in the UX)

[Mrcubix]

Also have you tried the new version (1.1.8), which is awaiting some checks before being submitted to the plugin repo

[FranciscoTosi]

You mean the tip binding? If so it is set to left mouse button. I can set it to nothing but then I am unable to release the left button from touch.
Touch works normally when using the default driver instead of OTD. It could be an OTD problem maybe.
The only filter is Touch Settings. This happens whether it's enabled or disabled.
Here's a diagnostic:
diagnostic.json

I did not try the new version, I can check today.

Could you try using Touch Gestures (Available in the plugin manager) instead of using left click in the UX?

Installation guide available at wiki link or on the repo's README

There is no hover for touch, so there is no way to prevent it from left clicking when you don't want it to.

Issue identified, no ETA for a fix cause i have absolutely no idea on how to fix it

OTD.EnhancedOutputMode/OTD.EnhancedOutputMode/Output/EnhancedRelativeOutputMode.cs

Lines 106 to 122 in 96b7c4e

	(_convertedReport as TouchConvertedReport)!.HandleReport(touchReport, _lastPos);
	// The touch point that was moving the cursor changed, skip this report as it would cause a large delta
	if (_lastTouchID != TouchConvertedReport.CurrentFirstTouchID && TouchConvertedReport.CurrentFirstTouchID != -1)
	{
	_lastPos = _convertedReport.Position;
	_lastTransformedTouchPos = null;
	skipReport = true;
	}
	_lastTouchID = TouchConvertedReport.CurrentFirstTouchID;
	// Skip the report if the pressure is 0 or if the touch point changed
	if (_convertedReport.Pressure != 0 && skipReport == false)
	base.Read(_convertedReport); // We send another report instead of overwriting the touch report since plugins might rely on it
	else
	skipReport = false;

Right now, i don't send a report unless pressure is non-zero (pressed).
I don't send a report when pressure is zero.

If i try sending a report when pressure is 0, entirety of relative mode breaks.
Something similar happens with Absolute Mode

Absolute Mode was an easy fix, Relative Mode isn't going to be, again, i have no singular idea of how to fix it

The issue remains in absolute mode.

Could you try using Touch Gestures instead of using left click in the UX?

I am not sure what you mean by this. Setting up a gesture that releases the mouse button?
Anyways, the Touch Gestures window remains on 'Connecting...' after going through the installation process (this is with the provided Enhanced Output Modes version), so I can't test it at the moment.

Odd, can't replicate it anymore

I am not sure what you mean by this.

Any press will result in a left click, even if you just want to move your mouse, that's why I'm recommending my touch gesture plugin instead of using left click in the UX which is intended for pen and Absolute Mices.

the Touch Gestures window remains on 'Connecting...' after going through the installation process

That's what happens if you don't enable, both the Touch Gestures in Filters & Touch Gestures Daemon in Tools.
All steps in the guide. Tested it on Windows, Raspi OS (yes on my Raspberry pi) & Mint from clean installs.

Just can't replicate it in Absolute mode like in this vid, and can't replicate it in relative mode anymore either.
Guess i would need a Data Recording from the Tablet Debugger :

• Tick the box,
• Touch & Release from the surface,
• Close the window (So that it actually saves the content),
• Upload that file, which should be in ~/.config/OpenTabletDriver

[FranciscoTosi]

Here's the log I believe you mean:
tablet-data.txt

I apologize if this is nonsense, but I've been trying to understand the code and in TouchConvertedReport.cs:HandleReport you make sure to never report a position as null. Could this possibly be related?

[Mrcubix]

make sure to never report a position as null. Could this possibly be related?

The pressure is what matters, here, and in the case where there are no active touch, we just use the last position (to avoid some issues with relative mode specifically) & set pressure to 0.

The reason why i convert touch to pen inputs are :

• They can be modified by smoothing filters,
• It prevents some filters from breaking,
• They can go down the pipeline normally (and be properly processed)

I won't lie that the processing to convert touch inputs to pen inputs needs a rewrite, but don't exactly have the time for that.
Currently working on learning about ASP.NET, to better my chances at job opportunities.

Here's a cleaner report I think: tablet-data.txt

[Mrcubix]

We could just not bother setting the pressure, but then we loose Pen Tip binding usage on touch
(which may or may not be an issue depending on users)
