System Information
Mac OS Yosemite - NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB

Blender Version
Broken: 2.73
Worked: I can't remember, it's been so long. Sorry about the late report.

Short description of error
When I’m in Sculpt Mode and I’ve begun sculpting with my tablet, whenever I try to use the pan function, the object flies away from my view, until I press “fn” + “option” + "left arrow” to bring it back into focus.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open any scene. Switch to Sculpt Mode. Plug in tablet. Sculpt one or more strokes. Press "Shift" + "Option" then Click mouse and drag. The 3d view should move far away from the object, putting it out of sight.

As far as I can tell, the problem is tablet in absolute mode in combination with Continuous Grab. Optimally, Continuous Grab would be disabled for transformations if you're using a tablet.

I wanted to investigate this a bit further, too see what I can do code-wise, but after changing the tablet mode once, the problem didn't appear anymore (even after setting it back to absolute again). So chances are this is a driver issue (well even if so, I wouldn't deny that Blender's tablet support could be improved, but that's a different story and shouldn't go in here).
So could you just test if changing the tablet mode to relative and back again helps? If not, we'd need to investigate this a bit further.

I changed the mapping mode from "pen" to "mouse" and back and the problem still occurred.
