Area(s) with issue?

Mouse Utilities

Steps to reproduce

Find My Mouse 'On' Find My Mouse set to 'Shake Mouse' Shake distance '4000'

Hover drawing screen pen over display at height to move cursor.

✔️ Expected Behavior

Find My Mouse to not activate unless I am shaking my cursor at or above my threshold.

❌ Actual Behavior

Find My Mouse immediately activates.

I would have to typical amount of shaking of holding my pen above my display (sub mm shaking), but this is well below my set threshold of 4000.

Yeah, whitelisting my programs is... fine. But when interacting with many apps, it gets annoying.

So this is something that only occurs with this external drawing canvas? I can't reproduce this behavior when using my Surface Pen on my Surface.

I can't reproduce this behavior when using my Surface Pen on my Surface.

@snickler I did have this on my SP4.

Interesting. I can't repro this on my SPX at all. Heck, my Surface Pen doesn't activate Mouse Shake at all no matter what I even try.

I think there's some setting that makes pens being treated as mouse pointers for the OS. In the case of @snickler it's likely that it's not being interpreted as a mouse pointer but for @Nicolii it is. Not sure how to control this setting, though. I think "Huion Kamvas 24 Plus" it's a specific hardware that is sending the mouse pointer coordinates directly and sending them in a shaking way or resetting very quickly between coordinates.

A little bit of testing. The Huion driver allows you to run in Windows Ink mode. The bug only happens when Windows Ink mode is turned ON. Might need to test other setups that allows Windows Ink to be active and disabled.

I do use a number of Windows Ink and non-Windows Ink apps, so disabling it isn't really an option.

I feel the best solution would be to disable find my mouse when a pen is detected as the mouse is always under the pen regardless, if this is possible to do.

@crutkas I would like a "hardware-related" label please?

Jay-o-Way commented 2 years ago

I think it's the hardware that sends actual mouse coordinates, not pen coordinates. Don't know what we can do.

I just said I'll check in a month when I return home. I already have a reminder set for when I return. Don't make to keep returning every 5 days when my time is already known
