UI problem switching timeline tabs with wacom

hi
when attempting to switch timeline tabs with wacom, often the tab "sticks" to the cursor, and the only way i found to stop it is to switch out and back into after effects (cmd+tab). then the tab gows to whichever panel the cursor was hovering on, often creating a new panel for the timeline.
**this may happen in other areas of AE, but not as consistently and as often as with the timeline tabs!**

i estimate this sticky behaviour has been going on for a year or two.
it is possibly a misinterpretation of the wacom multydimensional input, that needs to be ignored in this instance..

tech: 27i iMac 2020, sonoma 14.4.1, wacom intuos pro - all software and drives up-to-date.

thanks for ythe answer!
i cannot do that, it will defeat the main reason for using wacom and will affect my entire work within after effects, including actions that require required pressure-sensitive input.
the UI reaction to the deep input is a bug, and it works fine everywhere else.
in another example, years ago ableton Live used to have a similar problem (UI confused by the input), until they added a preferences checkbox, to be ticked when you use wacom. that sorted it out.

Do you mind reaching out to Wacom support and see if they can assist?

Let us know how it goes with them. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for now.

 

Thanks,

Create an application specific profile in the Wacom control panel and dial down the sensitivity.
