Short description of error

Blender interprets "right click" as "left click," only for my Wacom pen and tablet. I've assigned all buttons to be "Right Click" on my pen and it still does not work properly.

Tried reinstalling Wacom drivers, resetting and redownloading Blender, restarting system, plugging into different USB ports... no success.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Does not work for any .blend files

We need an OSX developper with a Wacom tablet to investigate that… @jensverwiebe, @brecht, @MikeErwin, one of you guys maybe?

I can verify this error. Mapping anything on the tablet as right-click (e.g. the accessory buttons) acts as a left-click.

I suspect OS X Blender's method for polling the input is lower level than the OS would suggest (since the Wacom drivers are able to send the events correctly to other applications).

Hi folks
Until i abandoned OSX last years may, i always used to work in blender exclusively
with a wacom graphire4. I never experienced such problem, had used both pen buttons
always. ( but not flipped )
So this may be a new issue ?

It's a bug in SDL2.

Here's GZDoom made with SDL and it also misdetects a right click from a Wacom device as a left click.

Sure, I'm familiar with this code & have some Wacom gear at home.

We don't use SDL to get tablet events, but maybe we have the same bug!

Works correct for me on OS X 10.11 with a Wacom Bamboo, I can't reproduce the problem here. We don't use SDL for getting tablet events, so that's not the issue.

I've committed a possible fix for this issue, but can't test it myself. Please try tomorrow's build from https://builder.blender.org/download/ to see if the issue is fixed.

Incredible. Checked out 2.77 cefbe8f and my Wacom tablet is now registering right clicks. Thanks a ton.

Thanks, I came here with the same problem, and the daily build solved it for me. Mac/Intuos

Nightly build solved it for me as well with a Cintiq 27 QHD. Thanks!

You fixed it! If you could share with us how you did it, that would be great because even if you're not using SDL, I was able to confirm SDL (1&2) demonstrate the same problem.

The fix was in 0b415700f4. It's basically giving [event type] priority over [event buttonNumber] to determine if it's the left, right or another button.

Here's an excerpt from the last support mail I got from Wacom:

We were able to replicate the issue and essentially, like you said, the driver thinks that when you are using the left and right click at the same time it overrides that command and uses it as a single click instead.

What you can try to do is:

Open Wacom Desktop Center> Click on the name of your device and go to Pen Settings
When you are there please click one of the dropdown lists for one of the SideSwitches
Then click on Keyboard> Modifier> Set the "Clicks" to Left and right
You can also try to find the specific command for that action in Blender, change it to a keyboard key and then set it as the "Keystroke" option on Pen Settings
Since this is a very specific issue in one specific application, downloading a previous driver might fix the issue if the steps above do not work

I tried it all, absolutely to no avail. So do I have to download a beta version of Blender to be able to use this new Wacom tablet? I don't wanna have to :( :( Can't this be fixed in a stability release of teh 2.91 series?

So since this task has been marked as resolved, what's the solution???? I'm on 2.9.01 and 2.91. What do I need to do?
