[Wacom bug] Unable to paint in Photoshop anymore, every tool turned into the move tool.

[K_Hao]

No matter what tool is selected, Photoshop treats my pen like it's the move tool and it's really annoying.

Video examples:

But if the pen doesn't touch tablet, then it treats it normally, like if I use three fingers to simulate a left click held down:

My "move" shortcut is not held down.

The only thing that works correctly is the actual move tool. Does anyone have a fix for this? It's really annoying. It works normally with Paint Tool Sai. I've updated the drivers, even uninstall and reinstalled. Reinstalled Photoshop, and even had to reinstall Windows 10. Nothing helps at all, and a day of wasted work is a really shitty feeling.

Extra notes:

1. Something interesting to add that may or may not be related is that my left clicking becomes unresponsive IF, using my Intuos Pro pen, I right click anywhere within a Google Chrome window. Very strange. The only way to get left click working again is to RIGHT CLICK on my desktop, then everything returns normal.

2. Paint Tool Sai works and draws fine, but using my pen's button to move the canvas doesn't work, however manually doing it with the keyboard (holding space to move canvas) works.

Hi, are there any guidelines for this issues for users with a Mac (version 12.5 (21G72))?

How can you solve the update issue if you have a dual monitor? My pen still can't register Photoshop at all.

I have 2 monitors and it works fine for me. Use that command that Ged posted. It should work.

I just bumped into this elsewhere, which worked for me. No need to uninstall a windows update, or switch drivers:

1. Use notepad to create a text file and type in :

UseSystemStylus 0

2. Save the file as PSUserConfig.txt in the following location
C: > Users > Username > AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 > Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings

David,

Davescm already gave this solution in the first reply of this very same thread.

[davidq29281100]

So he did. So many open tabs, so little time sorry about that.

Hi, the easiest solution is to apply this windows update that fixes the problem created by the previous one: Cannot paint with stylus when zoomed in on image | Windows 10

Hi All,

I have got the same question but on a Mac. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks a lot!
