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:
- Changes to Windows Ink as of the Fall Creator's update causing programs to scroll
- Pen flicks
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.
I 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,
