Anyone else noticing some strange behaviour with a Wacom tablet?

When I use it inside Houdini suddenly my mouse cursor move upside down for no reason.. this only happens in Houdini btw..

The strange thing is that it happens randomly.. one second its working correctly and all of a sudden BOOM inverted mouse.. and 1 second after it returns back to normal again..

I found out how to reproduce this problem every time..

Whenever you switch panels, doesnt matter which one.. for example scene viewer to render viewer.. or when you go from OBJ to SHOP, when you change a setting in material this also occurs…

Not sure if this is a Houdini problem or Wacom..

I have the exact same issue. For me it happens mostly when I use the value ladder.

I sent it but please make sure to send it yourself as well, so they can see it's not only me, and give some priority (:

For people still having this problem, it's not Houdini, it's wacom. It seems like the June release (Driver 6.3.2w3) is causing this issue. When I installed the April release (Driver 6.3.1w3), everything worked great in the latest build of Houdini.

So stick with the April release, and let wacom know how much … (:

I'm experiencing this issue with my Intuos5 (6.3.1w3) on both Houdini 12.0.581 and 12.0.634 (Apprentice HD).

Value ladders trigger this inverted behaviour in Houdini every time for me. I've also discovered that I can reproduce the behaviour in Houdini License Administrator without having Houdini open at all, by opening the File menu and clicking outside the File menu on the interface to close it.

A quick elbow bump on my mouse and the cursor behaves again. :wink:

Anyone found a solution? I realized reverting back wacom drivers wasn't the solution

I don't have any issues with Linux/intuos 4 and intuos3 on windows is working fine!

I'm pretty sure they changed a freaking line of code and this is it, making us all angry! :evil: lol

If it's wacom, then yeah let's send as many emails as possible. It's really frustrating. Not sure if all of us will amount to anything in the eyes of wacom though

Im actually starting to doubt if it really is a wacom driver error.. think I'll submit a ticket to Houdini hopefully they can take a look at it..

I really miss working with a tablet it Houdini.. :evil:

I've contacted wacom for a while and got a working driver from Wacom! They should upload it any time soon, but for the people who cant wait just like me you should install the one I've uploaded to my Skyrive account!

Enjoy the non flipping wacom driver!!
