Christian, I just had a chance to test a different Wacom tablet (Intuos), for which El Capitan drivers *are* available. Unfortunately for me, it does not appear to be a driver problem at all!
Mac OS X 10.11.1, Skim 1.4.14 and the effects are:
1. drawing (freehand) in either of standard or fullscreen views: line are shown
while drawing, disappear as soon as pen is lifted from the tablet
2. drawing in presentation mode: drawing is not working at all (nothing shown,
no anotations added)
Point 2 is particularly bad, since I was using freehand anotations a lot in my
lectures.
In addition: what I noticed in scenario 1: when I draw quite a bit without
lifting the pen, some fragements—not necessarily contiguous ones—of the line
will stay visible once I finally lift the pen (possibly the line fragments have
been shifted on the paper, I’m not sure). It doesn’t seem to be reproducible
when that happens and what parts remain visible…. Strange!
And btw: same behavior, if I use the magic trackpad to draw.
Cheers
—Marc
