Erattic behavior with the Dell Active Pen (PN5122W) #409

Open Doomsdayrs opened 7 months ago

I do not know if this is the correct place to report this.

The Dell Active Pen (PN5122W) has inconsistent behavior during operation.

Here are the following issues I notice:

  1. Inconsistent recognition of stylus on the screen
  2. Jittering in which the position of the stylus zaps to random positions on the screen, typically upwards & right of wherever the stylus is.

Explanations:

Inconsistent recognition

When writing, or attempting to write, input just does not occur. And will randomly come back into operation. Things that may or may not help: Writing somewhere else, Writing with the stylus upright, Reinserting stylus battery (might just be a time waster while whatever is the actual issue times out), and rapidly tapping into the input works again.

Jittering

The pointer location will jitter or stutter during movement across the screen. This is worsened when writing, in which large "spikes" will be drawn due to the location glitching.

I am unsure if this can be fixed with calibration.
