Interface Issue/Quirk: Wacom Touch Strip and changing pen size

Hey there,

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I’m having a bit of a gnawing issue that continues to irritate, and I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

When sculpting, I use my wacoms touch strip bound to do either [ or ] so I can change my pen size on the fly. I imagine most do! But I find that after using zbrush for a while, I eventually seem to… Somehow toggle something, seemingly in the program, that stops this from working.

Specifically, when I use the touch strip either way, it seems to think I’m holding down Alt. the cursor will change to the mask brush briefly instead of the pen size changing. Pressing ] and [ on the keyboard itself works as normal.

I don’t have Zbrush’s program set up as a seperate type of control in my wacom preferences itself, so [ and ] are the default behavior so far as the tablet itself is concerned. This happens both when I am using my intuos on the run and my cintiq at home.

Has anyone else had this? What in the world am I doing to cause this? :open_mouth:

Thanks,

Pk

As an addendum, this has not happened again since I upgraded to 4R6 - So, fingers crossed that this is self solved.

Since this issue seems to be very rare or limited to just me, no idea what it could have been in my case, other than perhaps crashing wacom drivers behind the scenes or something to do with my having multiple tablets? The world may never know.

It was somehow switching keyboard modes from US to Canadian French during heavy masking procedures. Mystery, misery, solved!
