I've just tried to install a Huion H420 graphic tablet on my laptop. I can use it and the associated pen to draw in Paint.net and Windows Ink Workspace, but it's not working properly in GIMP 2.8.22.
In GIMP I can use the pen to move the mouse pointer around and to select things and click on them. However, I can't do any freehand drawing using the pen or brush tools. Holding down my left mouse button and dragging the pointer round works. Holding down the top pen button (the pen's equivalent of the left mouse button) doesn't.
What am I doing wrong? I've tried both Window and Screen in File>Configure Input Devices for the Huion Tablet but neither seems to do what I want.
