Dell Canvas 27: Legacy software issues

My previous post was marked as **bleep**. I'm not sure why.

Legacy software is not playing well with the Dell Canvas, it seems.

It appears to be a mix of:




I am a flash CS6 user, and upon applying both solutions I get extremely undesirable behavior.

Windows Ink registry fix:


  • Flash no longer scrolls, but has lag at beginning of strokes.

Windows Ink registry fix + disabled pen flicks:

  • Upon applying pen input, the stroke does not move, and creates a pressure-sensitive dot until I move my mouse, in which case the stroke then follows the mouse movements.

Here is a video of my issues. 

do not have these issues with my Cintiq 13HD.

  • The Wacom Desktop Center has an option to disable windows ink on a per-program basis (rather than mucking with the registry) that I believe Dell should look into implementing. Disabling this and disabling flicks works flawlessly in the Cintiq experience.


This is extremely annoying and somewhat dissapointing. Between $700 for my Flash CS6 key, and $2,000 on this tablet only to be shafted by Microsoft's urge to fix what isn't broken, which I cannot revert.

I understand the tablet is using the Surface API/systems/whatever they may be, but I would love to see Windows 7 support perhaps. I would gladly roll back to a much more stable, much less unpredictably changing operating system.

For the record - I'm not placing blame on Dell. I understand this is a new product. These changes to a system that worked perfectly came from Microsoft just recently, and they seem to be making legacy software less and less reliable with time.

Thanks,
