Additional information

I use my HP EliteBook 1040 G8 with an HP Active Pen G3

drag_and_drop_fail

Everything I do in this video is done with the pen (except text input)

Unfortunately, I was not able to properly record cursor indication:

  • When I hover over the card, the palm symbol is shown
  • When I touch the screen, the palm is closed, but the card doesn’t move anywhere
  • This behavior is not seen with a trackpad/mouse

What’s strange (and different from other bugs) is that creating cards and links works just as expected

are you using x11/xwayland or wayland?

do you have this problem https://forum.obsidian.md/t/wacom-input-problem-in-canvas-on-mac/55687?

❯ loginctl show-session $(awk '/tty/ {print $1}' <(loginctl)) -p Type | awk -F= '{print $2}'
wayland

There are some differences
The bug is persistent, and is not “resetting” with anything (Esc, clicking elsewhere with trackpad, reopening obsidian)
I use the pen with builtin touchscreen, not a discrete tablet
To summarize, I can:

  • Create cards (and place them anywhere upon creation)
  • Create links between cards
  • Resize cards by the corner
  • Select one card

I can’t:

  • Drag&drop cards (even though cursor’s indication is correct and corresponds to trackpad indication)
  • Resize them by the edge
  • Select a subrectangle of cards

Do you happen to know if it works under x11 or windows?

Unfortunately no, this is my work machine and I’m not allowed to install any other OS

I misunderstood the meaning of x11

❯ loginctl show-session $(awk '/tty/ {print $1}' <(loginctl)) -p Type | awk -F= '{print $2}'
x11

After running Ubuntu with Xorg I get the exact same behavior
I won’t be able to try Windows
