If no action has been defined, the driver falls back to its predefined button. If you run e.g. `xsetwacom --set $ID LeftStripUp 8`, the action "button +8" is assigned (because of parse_action's simple button handling). When you move your finger along the strip, the driver notices an action has been set and will send the button 8 event. If you then run `xsetwacom --set $ID LeftStripUp` the action is deleted. Moving your finger along the strip again, the driver will not find an action and fall back to its predefined mapping (which should be button 5) Though, If you're talking about mapping through the equivalent of `xinput set-button-map` you're correct. Of course, there's not much we can do to stop that. The code which did the equivalent was removed from xsetwacom in favor of parse_action transforming simple buttons into proper actions.
