Follow-up Comment #14, bug #20883 (project mypaint):
Okay, this is still sitting here with "need info", but I'm not sure what is
actually needed. I tried to provide some extra information and confirmation
that it's happening to other users and other devices, but the bug is still
sitting with the same status a month later, and the bug itself is nearly a
year old. What is it you need here?
As best I can tell it's not a driver or device problem, because it works fine
with multiple gtk2 apps (Gimp, Inkscape, older MyPaint), as well as Krita.
It's either a problem with Gtk3 or with MyPaint, and both sides are saying
"You should talk to the other guys", which means that a piece of software
that's generally very nice to use is sitting around worthless to a portion of
its intended user base because neither side is taking responsibility for the
problem.
On the gtk3 side, this was the last thing said on the matter, *six months
ago*:
This is most likely due to the difference evdev and xf86-input-wacom reporting
coordinates differently. The Wacom driver always reports *all* of the
coordinates, the evdev driver only reports coordinates that have changed since
the last report, which is correct WRT the protocol. This is what confuses
GTK3, most likely. This was happening in the past to other software,
certainly. I'd suggest mentioning this in the bugs you reported.
Does this mean that MyPaint is dealing with the information incorrectly, or
that Gtk3 is? If the latter, is there not something a MyPaint dev could do to
help convince the Gtk side that this needs to be fixed?
I'm sorry if this sounds pushy, but just leaving a bug at "Need Info" for a
year is ridiculous. Would the problem have gotten more attention if I'd
opened a duplicate report instead of trying to do the responsible thing and
find a similar bug to add information to?
I'd like to see MyPaint be usable again, and I've tried reporting two *very
nasty* bugs with the Gtk3 version recently in an effort to help make problems
known and get them fixed, but I can't fix them myself and it feels like bug
reports are just being ignored now.
Development was so lively and quick to communicate in the past. What
happened? This isn't like you guys. It's like the move to Gtk3 took away your
passion for the project. :(
