If you want to make a subtle or drastic change, our plastic surgeons are available for consultation.

Please call (573) 884-6155 to schedule an appointment with one of our cosmetic surgeons.
What to ask when selecting a plastic surgeon for cosmetic surgery?It is important that you feel comfortable and confident with your surgeon. We encourage you to use the guide below when selecting any cosmetic surgeon.Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?It is essential that you confirm your plastic surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery under the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). ABPS certification means your surgeon under went six or more years of training beyond medical school and a rigorous process of testing and peer evaluation. American Board of Plastic Surgery certification means your surgeon has undergone extensive training in all areas of cosmetic surgery.Are you a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons?In addition it is ideal to confirm that your surgeon is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the largest and most respected group of plastic surgeons. This membership means your surgeon chooses to gain additional training and continuing education in his or her specific area of plastic surgery. Cosmetic plastic surgery includes any procedure that is an elective enhancement to improve one's body.What does this mean for me?By ensuring that your surgeon is both ABPS certified and a member of the ASPS, you are ensuring you have selected a surgeon who is trained in all aspects of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find some basic information about this disease and the parts of the body it may affect. This is the first page of Cancer.Net's Guide to Salivary Gland Cancer. To see other pages, use the colored boxes on the right side of your screen. Think of those boxes as a roadmap to this full guide. Or, click "Next" at the bottom of each page.
About the salivary glands
The body's salivary glands are tissues that produce saliva. Saliva is the fluid that is released into the mouth to keep it moist and contains enzymes that begin breaking down food. Saliva also helps prevent infections of the mouth and throat.
There are clusters of salivary glands in several places in the head and neck, including below the tongue, on the sides of the face (in the cheek area) just in front of the ears, in the area of the upper jaw along the inside of the teeth and the soft palate, and under the jawbone. There are also smaller clusters of salivary glands in parts of the upper digestive tract mucosa (tissue lining) and the windpipe.
Doctors often refer to three pairs of salivary glands as the major salivary glands:
- Parotid glands. These are the largest salivary glands and are found on either side of the face in front of the ears.
- Submandibular glands. These are found under the jawbone.
- Sublingual glands. These are found in the bottom of the mouth under the tongue.
As described above, there are many other, smaller areas that contain salivary glands; these are often called the minor salivary glands.
About salivary gland cancer
Cancer begins when normal cells change and grow uncontrollably, forming a mass of tissue called a tumor. A tumor can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body).
A tumor (benign or cancerous) can begin in any of the major or minor salivary glands. Most tumors (80%) in the parotid gland, and about half of the tumors in the submandibular gland, are benign. Sublingual gland tumors are almost always cancerous. Most cancerous tumors of this type begin in the parotid gland or in the submandibular glands.
There are many subtypes of salivary gland tumors, depending on the type of cell where it started and an evaluation of tumor cells under a microscope. This is covered in more detail in Stages.
This section covers primary salivary gland cancer, which is cancer that begins in the salivary glands. Sometimes, another type of cancer (most commonly melanoma or another skin cancer) can spread to the salivary glands or the nearby lymph nodes (tiny, bean-shaped organs that fight infection) located inside and surrounding the parotid gland and next to the submandibular gland. For more information about cancer that started in another part of the body and then spread to the salivary glands, please see Cancer.Net's guide for that type of cancer.
Salivary gland cancer is one of the five main types of cancer in the head and neck region, a grouping called head and neck cancer.

My iPhone is stuck in Recovery mode (it displays iTunes logo with a cable). I try to restore it to 1.1.2 or 1.1.1, but it keep failing with "unknown error (6)" message. I tryied to restore to 1.0.2 and it failed with "unknown error (1)" message.
Please help!
BTW, everybody are talking about putting iPhone in DFU mode to be able to restore it. Is it that mode (with iTunes logo with a cable) or is it something else ? I tried holding Power + Home for 10 seconds (while iPhone is switched off), after 10th second it switches off and shows Apple logo. By that time I release the Power button, but keep pressing the Home button. After about 10 seconds it displays "iTunes logo with a cable" screen, if by that time it is connected to PC, iTunes detects the iPhone in recovery mode. Holding Home button any more doesn't do anything.
Am I correct with the steps to achieve DFU mode ?
Also, I have noticed that if I reboot iPhone with iBrickr, it starts booting (displays Apple logo) for some lengthy period of time, but then it reboots and then boots to recovery mode. It seems that something has broken and normal startup just don't work and it boots into Recovery mode.
Please help!!!

A small fire broke out at La Bottega restaurant, early Tuesday morning, fire officials said.
Nobody was hurt.
The blaze broke out in a bathroom just before 11 a.m. and flickered out just as members of the Syosset Fire Department arrived at the Italian eatery at Berry Hill Road.
The restaurant hadn't opened yet according to Syosset 3rd Assistant Chief Doug Shares.
The restaurant opened in 2010. La Bottegga has 21 locations since the first one opened in Garden City.

Using economics to solve eco-challenges
We create and shape markets to reward cleaning up instead of polluting
Markets are a powerful force — for good or ill. They can enable great prosperity for millions and huge advances in technology.
But, when markets do not account for the true costs of pollution or overuse, they can fuel environmental degradation. Because of these failures, the world's climate and fisheries are far worse off today than when EDF was founded.
Many were skeptical when we first proposed using well-designed markets to protect the environment. But our results show that markets and the incentives they create can attract brainpower and capital to solve environmental problems.
Acid rain pollution cut in half
In the midst of a divisive debate in the late 1980s, we proposed an innovative solution to cut acid rain pollution.
Under our plan, which became part of the Clean Air Act, government sets a cap on pollution. Companies decide how to meet that cap. This allows companies to use different methods to cut pollution, and choose the cheapest, most effective ones. As a result of the system, emissions were cut faster than expected, and at a fraction of the projected cost.
Giving fisherman a stake in the market
In 2006, regulators approved our proposed management method, catch shares, to end commercial overfishing of red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico. The new approach gives each fisherman a share of the catch, and a stake in the growth of the fishery. Catch shares have helped fish populations recover while increasing per-boat revenues by 80%.
Now, we're helping to get more catch share programs up and running, such as the catch share for Pacific groundfish. And in 2010, our oceans experts literally wrote the manual on designing an effective catch share program, to guide fishing communities on how to achieve healthy fish populations and healthy economies.
Sharing our experience with others
We've developed the expertise in markets to engage the right participants, set ambitious targets and get the rules right. We know how to assemble the building blocks that support successful markets: good data, strong enforcement and the backstop of litigation.
You can follow our experts' commentary through the Market Forces blog and through our economics materials and seminars.
If we can make environmental protection profitable, people will invent all kinds of ways to make it happen.Daniel Dudek, Ph.D. EDF Vice President - China
Why support carbon markets?
Carbon markets are a powerful tool for fighting climate change, since they create flexible economic incentives for reducing greenhouse gas pollution.

It has been proposed that microglia become dysfunctional with age and may lose their neuroprotective properties leading to chronic neurodegeneration. Here, we sought to characterize inflammatory changes in a mouse model of AD and to delineate differences between normal aging and those associated with disease pathology. A proinflammatory profile, characterized by upregulation of markers of classical activation was evident in APP/PS1 mice, associated with increased interferon (IFN)γ concentration and dysregulation of mechanisms designed to limit the proinflammatory response. The data indicate that microglia are not less active with age but alter their phenotype; indeed changes observed in the deactivation state appear to relate to aging rather than disease pathology. We hypothesize that disruption of the BBB, in tandem with an enhanced chemokine profile, permits the infiltration of immune cells serving to reinforce classical activation of microglia through their enhanced responsiveness to IFNγ.

Author: LYNCH, MARINA ANNETTA; MILLS, KINGSTON Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by deposits of amyloid-β and neurofibrillary tangles. It has been suggested that inflammatory changes are associated with disease; however, it has not been established if these are a consequence of ongoing neurodegeneration or whether inflammation itself contributes to disease pathogenesis. Recent studies suggest that exposure to infection can accelerate cognitive decline in AD patients, and pathogens have been detected in the AD brain. However, the influence of infection on neuroinflammation and pathology remains poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effect of a peripheral infection on AD pathology in APP/PS1 mice. We found that, 8 weeks after infection with the Gram negative respiratory pathogen Bordetella pertussis, there was significant infiltration of IFNγ- and IL-17-producing T cells and NKT cells in older APP/PS1 mice. This was accompanied by increased glial activation and amyloid β deposition. The data suggest that infection is a critical factor in the progression of AD, emphasising the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of infections in elderly individuals.

Author: LYNCH, MARINA ANNETTA Abstract: The interaction between CD200, expressed on several cell types, and its receptor CD200R, expressed on cells of the myeloid lineage, has been shown to be an important factor in modulating inflammation in macrophage function in several conditions including colitis and arthritis. More recently its modulatory effect on microglial activation has been identified and CD200-deficiency has been associated with increased microglial activation accompanied by increased production of inflammatory cytokines. The response of glia prepared from CD200-deficient mice to stimuli like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is markedly greater than the response of cells prepared from wildtype mice and, consistent with this, is the recent observation that expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 and signalling through NFκB are increased in microglia prepared from CD200-deficient mice. Here we show that glia from CD200-deficient mice are also more responsive to interferon-γ (IFNγ) which triggers classical activation of microglia. We investigated the effects of CD200-deficiency in vivo and report that there is an increase in expression of several markers of microglial activation including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which is a hallmark of classically-activated microglia. These changes are accompanied by increased IFNγ, and the evidence suggests that this is produced by infiltrating cells including T cells and macrophages. We propose that these cells enter the brain as a consequence of increased blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability in CD200-deficient mice and that infiltration is assisted by increased expression of the chemokines, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), IFNγ-induced protein-10 (IP-10) and RANTES. This may have implications in neurodegenerative diseases where BBB permeability is compromised.

Author: LYNCH, MARINA ANNETTA; MINOGUE, AEDIN Abstract: Background: Alzheimer's Disease is characterized by progressive neuronal loss and cognitive decline. Epidemiological studies suggest that the risk of AD is higher in women even when data are adjusted for age. Objective: We set out to compare changes in 9 month-old male and female mice which overexpress amyloid precursor protein (APP) with presenilin (PS1; APP/PS1 mice) and to evaluate whether any changes were coupled with deficits in spatial learning. Methods: APP/PS1 mice were assessed for their ability to learn in the Morris water maze and Aβ burden assessed by Congo Red and Aβ triple ultra-sensitive assay. Neuroinflammatory changes were examined in brain tissue along with expression of Aβ-generating and -degrading enzymes. Results: A deficit in reversal phase learning in the Morris water maze was observed in female mice and was paralleled by evidence of increased accumulation of Aβ, microglial activation and expression of IL-1β. Accumulation of Aβ was coupled with an increase in expression of BACE-1 and a decrease in insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE). Conclusion: The results indicate that the observed impairment in spatial memory in female APP/PS1 mice correlated with increased Aβ burden and the changes in Aβ may have occurred as a result of enhanced BACE-1 and decreased IDE expression.

Author: LYNCH, MARINA ANNETTA Abstract: Neuroinflammatory changes are a characteristic of several, if not all, neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and are typified by increased microglial activation. Microglia express several receptors making them highly reactive and plastic cells, and, at least in vitro, they adopt different phenotypes in a manner analogous to their peripheral counterparts, macrophages. Microglia also express numerous cell surface proteins enabling them to interact with cells and the evidence indicates that maintenance of microglia in a quiescent state relies, at least to some extent, on an interaction with neurons by means of specific ligand-receptor pairs for example CD200-CD200R. It is clear that microglia also interact with T cells and recent evidence indicates that co-incubation of microglia with Th1 cells markedly increase their activation Under normal conditions, small numbers of activated T cells gain entry to the brain and are involved in immune surveillance but infiltration of significant numbers of T cells occurs in disease and following injury. The consequences of T cell infiltration appear to depend on the conditions, with descriptions of both neur odestructive and neuroprotective effects in animal models of different diseases. This review will discuss the modulatory effect of T cells on microglia and impact of infiltration of T cells into the brain with a focus on AD and will propose that infiltration of interferon (IFN)- γ -producing cells may be an important factor in triggering inflammation that is pathogenic and destructive Description: ACCEPTED 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z The fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibitor URB597 exerts anti-inflammatory effects in hippocampus of aged rats and restores an age-related deficit in long-term potentiation.

Author: LYNCH, MARINA ANNETTA; MURPHY, NIAMH; GOWRAN, AOIFE; CAMPBELL, VERONICA ANN Abstract: Background: Several factors contribute to the deterioration in synaptic plasticity which accompanies age and one of these is neuroinflammation. This is characterized by increased microglial activation associated with increased production of proinflammatory cytokines like interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β ). In aged rats these neuroinflammatory changes are associated with a decreased ability of animals to sustain long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate gyrus. Importantly, treatment of aged rats with agents which possess anti-inflammatory properties to decrease microglial activation, improves LTP. It is known that endocannabinoids, such as anandamide (AEA), have anti-inflammatory properties and therefore have the potential to decrease the age-related microglial activation. However, endocannabinoids are extremely labile and are hydrolyzed quickly after production. Here we investigated the possibility that inhibiting the degradation of endocannabinoids with the fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) inhibitor, URB597, could ameliorate age-related increases in microglial activation and the associated decrease in LTP. Methods: Young and aged rats received subcutaneous injections of the FAAH inhibitor URB597 every second day and controls which received subcutaneous injections of 30% DMSO-saline every second day for 28 days. Long-term potentiation was recorded on day 28 and the animals were sacrificed. Brain tissue was analyzed for markers of microglial activation by PCR and for levels of endocannabinoids by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Results: The data indicate that expression of markers of microglial activation, MHCII, and CD68 mRNA, were increased in the hippocampus of aged, compared with young, rats and that these changes were associated with increased expression of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 β and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF α ) which were attenuated by treatment with URB597. Coupled with these changes, we observed an age-related decrease in LTP in the dentate gyrus which was partially restored in URB597-treated aged rats. The data suggest that enhancement of levels of endocannabinoids in the brain by URB597 has beneficial effects on synaptic function, perhaps by modulating microglial activation Description: PUBLISHED 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z Dok2 mediates the CD200Fc attenuation of Aß-induced changes in glia.

Author: LYNCH, MARINA ANNETTA; MURPHY, NIAMH; COSTELLO, DEREK Abstract: Background: The interaction between the membrane glycoprotein, CD200 and its cognate receptor CD200 receptor (CD200R), has been shown to play a role in maintaining microglia in a quiescent state. There is evidence of increased activation under resting and stimulated conditions in microglia prepared from CD200-deficient mice compared with wild-type mice, whereas activation of the receptor by CD200 fusion protein (CD200Fc) ameliorates inflammatory changes which are evident in the central nervous system (CNS) of the mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS), experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and also in the hippocampus of aged rats. Additionally, an inverse relationship between microglial activation and expression of CD200 has been observed in animals treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or amyloid- β (A β ). Methods: We assessed the effect of CD200R activation by CD200Fc on A β -induced production of the pro- inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β ) and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF α ) and the expression of microglial activation markers, CD68 and CD40 in cultured glia. The role played by downstream of tyrosine kinase 2 (Dok2) phosphorylation in mediating the effects of CD200R activation was evaluated by siRNA knockdown of Dok2. To further examine the impact of inflammatory changes on synaptic plasticity, the effect of CD200Fc on A β -induced impairment of long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of hippocampal slices was also investigated. Results: We demonstrate that A β -induced increases in IL-1 β , TNF α , CD68 and CD40 were inhibited by CD200Fc. The evidence suggests that Dok2 phosphorylation is a key factor in mediating the effect of CD200Fc, since Dok2 knockdown by siRNA abrogated its effects on microglial activation and inflammatory cytokine production. Consistent with evidence that inflammatory changes negatively impact on LTP, we show that the A β -induced impairment of LTP was attenuated by CD200Fc. Conclusions: The findings suggest that activation of CD200R and Dok2 is a valuable strategy for modulating microglial activation and may have therapeutic potential in neurodegenerative conditions.

Author: MINOGUE, AEDIN; BARRETT, JAMES; LYNCH, MARINA ANNETTA Abstract: Background: Compelling evidence has implicated neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of a number of neurodegenerative conditions. Chronic activation of both astrocytes and microglia leads to excessive secretion of proinflammatory molecules such as TNF α , IL-6 and IL-1 β with potentially deleterious consequences for neuronal viability. Many signaling pathways involving the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), nuclear factor κ B (NF κ B) complex and the Janus kinases (JAKs)/signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT)-1 have been implicated in the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines from glia. We sought to identify signaling kinases responsible for cytokine production and to delineate the complex interactions which govern time-related responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods: We examined the time-related changes in certain signaling events and the release of proinflammatory cytokines from LPS-stimulated co-cultures of astrocytes and microglia isolated from neonatal rats. Results: TNF α was detected in the supernatant approximately 1 to 2 hours after LPS treatment while IL-1 β and IL-6 were detected after 2 to 3 and 4 to 6 hours, respectively. Interestingly, activation of NF κ B signaling preceded release of all cytokines while phosphorylation of STAT1 was evident only after 2 hours, indicating that activation of JAK/STAT may be important in the up-regulation of IL-6 production. Additionally, incubation of glia with TNF α induced both phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT1 and the interaction of JAK2 with the TNF α receptor (TNFR1). Co-treatment of glia with LPS and recombinant IL-6 protein attenuated the LPS-induced release of both TNF α and IL-1 β while potentiating the effect of LPS on suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)3 expression and IL-10 release. Conclusions: These data indicate that TNF α may regulate IL-6 production through activation of JAK/STAT signaling and that the subsequent production of IL-6 may impact on the release of TNF α , IL-1 β and IL-10 Description: PUBLISHED 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z

Windows XP SP3 and Wacom Intuos 3 tablet with tablet mouse

I'm using a tablet mouse (Wacom Intuos 3, OS: Windows XP SP3). Just launched Qt Creator 1.3 RC 1 accepts the first mouse click. The next clicks won't be accepted anymore.
Creator 1.2 works fine.

Could you try if your Intuos 3 works properly with any other Qt 4.6 based applications? For example those you might compile with the Qt SDK 2009.05 RC1? I doubt that Qt Creator does anything special with tablets, so this might be a Qt 4.6 issue.
I tried the "Config Dialog Example" with the same effect. When I compile it with Qt SDK 2009.05 RC1, "mouse over" highlighting of the buttons and other elements works. But they don't get the focus when clicking the left mouse button. After compiling the application with Qt 4.5 the mouse works properly.
Moved to Qt bug since this isn't an issue with just Qt Creator.
Please evaluate priority, I put it on Major since this seems to me like a pretty serious issue.
I have the same problem, but I see a strange pattern, maybe it can help to find the cause:
if I resize the window size of QT creator, sometimes, at some variable dimensions (about 70% of the maximised window), I can get Wacom mouse working again.
The problem is that ever this behaviour is not allways the same and after sometimes lost the focus again.
Is this the same issue as: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-5065 ?
I cannot reproduce the problem on Windows 7 or Windows XP (Tablet driver 6.1.2-5).
The problem might be related to this: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-6257. Do you have any other Qt application running at the same time? If yes, which one?
With Wacom driver version 5.1.1-1 about 70% of my clicks get losts. Seems to be mostly when I try to click on buttons.
I updated the drivers to version 5.2.1-6. It feels like it's better but I can still reproduce the missing clicks. If I for example do Tools / Locate... and then directly Help / About Qt Creator... and try to click the Close button I get the same issue. I'm also seeing some missed clicks in the "File"-menu.
I use:
Qt Creator 1.3.0
Qt 4.6.0 (32 bit)
Built: Nov 27 2009 14:53:38
From revision: c0e849ecc3
I could not find any links to some nightly builds so I can't verify it there.
I cannot reproduce the mouse click problem but I do see there is a problem with the mouse recognition.
For example, the coordinate of the mouse are taken like for a stylus, even if the tablet is configured to behave like a mouse in that case (mode mouse in my configuration).
I'm using a Graphire 4 (usb)
I'm using "Mouse mode" in the Wacom config section.
I'm using the pen (I have no mouse)
Any idea for how how I can help you duplicatie the issue?
> Any idea for how how I can help you duplicate the issue?
The issue might be related to the driver. The only hardware I have is an intuos 3.
If you are able to debug Qt, the best would be to set a breakpoint in QETWidget::translateTabletEvent() (src/gui/kernel/qapplication_win.cpp) and check if the event is wrongly accepted.
I have updated the device detection code in 4.6.1. If you debug Qt, please use the source from gitorious.
I'm not sure for how to set it all up and build it all. Are there any good easy docs for how to compile/get from gitorious or any download + build -scripts available? Or even better, any nightly builds?
I don't think there is a special doc for that.
To get the code, you can clone the repository here: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commits/4.6
If you don't have git, you can get a tarball as well (http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/archive-tarball/4.6 ).
Then, to configure: "configure.exe -debug -no-webkit" (-no-webkit so it compile faster, since you don't need webkit to reproduce the bug), and "nmake" to compile.
After ~1h, you should have the build, and you can debug any demo provided with Qt.
I am not familiar with the building of Qt on Windows. Don't hesitate to go on the #qt-labs channel on IRC if something does not work.
I managed to build and run Qt Designer (with some help from IRC) from the tarball (http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/archive-tarball/4.6). I also could reproduce the missing clicks in it (4.6.1).
I launched Qt Designer and opened the solution in Visual Studio Express. I attached to the designer.exe process and put a breakpoint on line 3441 (bool QETWidget::translateTabletEvent(const MSG &msg, PACKET *localPacketBuf, int numPackets)) in the file qapplication_win.cpp (in QETWidget). I'm not sure but I think that's what you asked for.
I moved the cursor to the Help entry in the "File"-menu and clicked.
I browsed around a bit and found one thing that I thought was a bit strange. On line 3502 (qt_button_down = QApplication::widgetAt(globalPos)) it reads globalPos to 517 x 237 but if I measure where the Help entry on the screen is it feels more like it's on 320 x 50. (if 0 x 0 is on the upper left corner of the screen).
Do you have any more ideas for what I'm looking for?
A possible similar issue in the GTK bug database: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154657
I think I saw another example of this globalPos issue.
In latest SVN build of Avidemux (using Qt 4.6.0) I clicked on one button but another drop down menu opened.
This bug seems to be the result of two problems:
1) Qt does not handle relative positioning
2) Qt accept tablet events when it shouldn't
For (1), I need more input from somebody that know wintab better (how to dynamically detect relative positioning? how to get the absolute position in that case?).
For (2), I have attached a patch. I need somebody who can reproduce the problem to try it.
I think tablets worked before 4.6. No idea for how big the changes were between 4.5 and 4.6.
I applied the patch and rebuilt.
I started designer.exe and, unfortunately, I'm still having the same issue.
Since I'm pretty new to Qt/C++ it +would be great to have someone else verify this issue as well. So I don't make a mistake that gives you loads of unnecessary work.
I created a thread in the Wacom forums: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3078 hope it could lead to something.
Any news about this issue?
We have the same problem with a customer.
He uses "Wacom Intuos 3" with our software based on QT4.6.0
We tested it with Wacom (Steel Blue) and seems to work pretty fine.
Let me know if I can help...
Just noticed. Doesn't help anything though...
If you map the buttons on the table itself (not the pen/mouse) to left and right mouse clicks it works (with those buttons).
Problems (GUI does not react to mouse clicks) with Wacom Intous 4 mouse were reported by users of my product built against Qt 4.6.2, Win64. Re-building the same product against Qt 4.5.3 resolved the issue.
A similar issue has been reported by another user of Wacom Intuos 3 mouse using OSX 10.5.8, PowerPC, and my product built against Qt 4.5.3. Which means the problem is present in the Mac OSX builds of Qt as well and even as early as Qt 4.5.3. We need a solution for both Windows and Mac platforms.
I know "me too" comments aren't terribly valuable, but I wanted to say that this is affecting me in a variety of QT programs (notably Teamspeak and Mumble). I'm on Windows 7 x64 using a Wacom Bamboo.
I use both the pen and mouse in "mouse mode" which means that the cursor position is relative and not absolute with regards to the tablet. Oddly, I noticed that while using the pen (in "mouse" mode), this problem did not manifest. Using the Wacom mouse, all clicks and cursor positions are offset like mentioned previously.
I applied the ignore_tablet_events.patch and rebuilt the "gui" section.
This doesn't change anything.
Qt definitively doesn't handle relative mouse-positioning correctly.
When I switch my tablet into absolute positioning mode (pen mode), when using the tablet mouse, everything works perfectly.
Isn't it possible, when the tablet is switch into mouse mode (relative positioning mode),
to ignore all tablet events and just to use the "real" visible mouse cursor to get the positions?
For the meantime: How can I recompile Qt so that all tablet events are ignored?
The Wacom Tablet bug but has become worse with the latest QT updates.
I have a Wacom tablet ET-0405-R, Windows XP SP3. In daily work I use it with the wacom mouse. I am using the WACOM tablet for 5 years.
Until July 2010 I never had problems with any software.
With the latest QT upgrade several freeware programs, that use QT are not working anymore.
Examples are
VLC 1.1 (see http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=77954&p=260874&hilit=wacom#p260874 )
Avidemux 2.5.3 (see http://avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=8073 )
Mouse positions are displayed accurate, but the QT GUI catches the mouse click events at totally wrong positions that are far apart from the actual mouse position.
The problem is identical with Windows 2000 SP4, that has including all MS updates.
I am having the same problem with Win 7 and a wacom tablet mouse. If the mouse is pen mode everything works fine, if it is in mouse mode all clicks in the window are lost. It is interesting that mouse move events are handled correctly. Also, if I use the stylus which is in Pen mode everything also works.
When will there be a fix for this bug?
Does the posted patch resolve this problem?
Could someone direct me to the procedure for installing the patch?
> When will there be a fix for this bug?
I have no solution to fix this issue at the moment. I did not get any proper solution from Wacom. I am still hoping to get some help from a dev who know wintab in depth.
> Does the posted patch resolve this problem?
I am affraid it does not.
I am escalating this issue through Qt customer support (my company is a holder of commercial license), as this negatively affecting much of our customer base (we serve to creative professional photographer community that relies on tablets as input devices). This issue has been opened for almost a year without a resolution in sight, Nokia needs to fix it soon.
I'm also waiting for a solution for this.
Currently I can't use any applications that use QT4.6 (or greater).
If you can reproduce this problem on your system with a Wacom tablet, it could be interesting to know if the change suggested here solves the problem:
I rebuilt Qt 4.6.3 with Philippe's suggested change but unfortunately it did not solve the problem.
Edit: Reproduced issue on Windows Vista Enterprise x86 with a Wacom Intuos 4.
Does anyone know if this has been resolved in Qt 4.7.x? And if it has been resolved, is Qt 4.7 binary compatible with Qt 4.6? (I believe that it is binary compatible)
I'm also seeing this problem when using Scribus. I've tried upgrading the Wacom driver to the latest version, but that didn't help (that's version 5.24-5 RC).
I was told my a user that this fixes:
improves sensibly the situation with a Wacom tablet, but don't solve it completly.
Maybe the problem lies in different places of Qt?
I managed to to get my tablet mouse working by changing what mouse position to use in qapplication_win.cpp near line 3570. The position it was reading before when using the mouse were always off by a few hundred pixels when using scaleCoord() but QCursor has the correct positions.
if(currentTabletPointer.currentPointerType == 2){ hiResGlobal.setX(QCursor::pos().x()); hiResGlobal.setY(QCursor::pos().y()); }
else{ hiResGlobal = currentTabletPointer.scaleCoord(ptNew.x, ptNew.y, desktopArea.left(), desktopArea.width(), desktopArea.top(), desktopArea.height()); }
Believe me, I would have like it to be so simple. But your patch is not correct. The coordinates system depends on the mode of the tablet, not on currentPointerType. You just fix one case an break everything else.
Not to mention polling at each tablet packet is just insanely expensive.
well, at least 3 tablets:
Wacom - Bambo
Wacom - Intuos3
Wacom - Cintiq21UX
have problems with Qt 4.6+
My report:
I have the following setup: Windows 7 laptop with external hdmi-to-dvi connected LCD monitor. Wacom 4 with latest drivers.
I first found that VLC player does not accept mouse clicks on any of the monitors properly. Sometimes it does, some times it doesn't. The pen always works.
Now I have the problem with QT Creator: And it is weird. I use it most of the time on my big external LCD. Mouse clicks do not work but if I put it on the LCD of the laptop it appears that mouse clicks work.
So to summarize: mouse clicks never work on external LCD, mouse clicks appear to work in QT Creator, although not in VLC player on the built in LCD.
Who's fault is it? QT API or maybe Wacom drivers? Should I report to Wacom too?
I'm getting this problem in our app, which uses Qt 4.7.1.
After some debugging I think I've found a temporary workaround.
In qapplication_win.cpp around line 3592.
If I comment out this if block, mouse mode seems to work fine.
if (t == QEvent::TabletPress)
qt_button_down = QApplication::widgetAt(globalPos);
The problem is that globalPos is incorrect, as was previously mentioned in this bug. So qt_button_down points to a widget that is not actually underneath the cursor. Later on, a mouse press event seems to follow the tablet event, and I get to this block in translateMouseEvent, around line 3175
// mouse button pressed if (!qt_button_down && (type == QEvent::MouseButtonPress || type == QEvent::MouseButtonDblClick)) { QWidget *tlw = window(); if (QWidget *child = tlw->childAt(mapTo(tlw, pos))) qt_button_down = child; else qt_button_down = this; }
because qt_button_down was previously set to a non-null value by the tablet event, we don't get into this if block, and that seems to be why the mouse press events get sent to the wrong widgets. I'm not very familiar with Qt code, so maybe a Qt developer could comment on whether or not this is a good temporary patch? I haven't tested our app thoroughly, but so far, it doesn't seem like this change breaks anything else.
I have clearly found the origin of the problem, and propose a simple fix.
To get into the problem, I have acquired, on purpose, a level-entry Tablet from Wacom (Bamboo).
Wacom tablets (but maybe others), can be set in "Pen mode" or in "Mouse mode" (done via the Control Panel's Applet).
When set to "Pen mode" , the tablet is used in absolute coordonate mode. There is no problem then.
When set to "Mouse mode", the tablet sends relative coordonates in its events. Then the problem occurs because Qt only expects absolute screen coordonates.
Since the code of QETWidget::translateTabletEvent steps on the mouse event handling performed with standard mouse event (qt_button_down ...)
then a Qt application will sometimes work as expected (when standard mouse event comes last), and often not (in the opposite case).
My fix is simply to edit QETWidget::translateTabletEvent(...) and replace this line:
QPoint globalPos(qRound(hiResGlobal.x()), qRound(hiResGlobal.y()));
With these lines:
QPoint globalPos;
POINT pt;
if (::GetCursorPos(&pt))
globalPos = QPoint(pt.x, pt.y);
globalPos = QPoint(qRound(hiResGlobal.x()), qRound(hiResGlobal.y()));
That is, QETWidget::translateTabletEvent now relies on mouse absolute screen coordonates for sure. Maybe there is a smarter way, but this works. Please others confirm.
Philippe, you patch is the same idea as what Mike Sims suggested.
You cannot do polling for the position for each packet, this is just working against the idea of packets in Wintab. It is way too expensive for applications using tabletevents.
You are right, I see now this is the same solution. But a call to QCursor::pos() is pretty fast AFAIK. Compare this to a non-usable Qt application...
It can be used as a solution for now, but subseqently this means it cannot be integrated into Qt, this is more of a workaround than the actual correct fix if you ask me. The correct fix would be to somehow check the mode of the tablet and then calculate the position correctly as a result.
...but since the mouse position is already handled via the standard mouse events, that would mean redundancy.
> ...but since the mouse position is already handled via the standard mouse events, that would mean redundancy.
This is not the same position. For a tablet, drivers can return sub-pixel accuracy.
I suggest you to have a look at the specification to see the main differences between tablet and mouse input.
I think the same problem appears when connecting through Windows RDP, which also sends relative coordinates.
Same problem in any program using Qt, including any RDP, Hauptwerk, VCL, Calibre
so I would love to have a permanent solution!
I wonder if Qt is still alive...
Nothing is happening here and once again a program I use has updated to the bloody Qt user interface, rendering my mouse to a useless device!
I really cannot understand why you do not take the customers of your clients seriously! Why are you killing the field for your customers?
Qt, WHEN WILL YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS BUG?
I agree about the importance of this issue, but my above solution works...
not true - when using the mouse as pen the mouse pointer goes to top-left on my screen and stays there for at least 20 seconds when a program with Qt interface gets the focus!
So, everytime when Hauptwerk gets the focus (also after system messeges, alt-tab, etc.) I cannot use my mouse for that long.
This makes it impossible to use!
Instead of finding stuff to get around this problem, which do not work, how about making it properly?
When Hauptwerk looses focus, I have to lift the mouse up enough to not be seen by the board. After that it works.
However, when changing from mouse to pen the touch screen driver stops temporary until the switch back to mouse!
So, this is completely unacceptable, since I have to use touch screen to change registers!
It still seems nothing is happening in this field. I do hope someone is able to solve this annoying problem real soon now!
I need a fix to this also. We can't really use Qt if it doesn't work with all normally used pointing devices.
This bug is marked in-progress but is 'Unscheduled'.. so I guess that means there is actually no work being done on it?
A long-time Commercial License customer here - I need this fixed ASAP!
Got a patch from Digia which resolves this (it's great being a commercial customer). Thought I'd share it. Made the changes manually myself and it seems to work.
I tried pasting the code here but the auto-formatting messes it up. Can someone tell me how to attach or post a diff here?
Paul, I'm sure a multitude of people would like to see your patch.
Given that this bug has been open for nearly two years, and given that my own enterprise has had extensive problems using the WaCom tablet in relative mode, I decided to identify and fix this bug.
Here is what I have found in my (somewhat extensive) research:
1. This is caused by WINTAB spawning two different events, the windows 'WM_xBUTTONDOWN' and the WINTAB 'WT_PACKET', containing absolute positioning information when the left-button on the mouse is clicked in relative mode. This creates a race condition because both can establish the topmost, underlying Widget that will receive the click event. If the WT_PACKET event is processed before the WM_LBUTTONDOWN, then it's absolute-mode based positioning calculation will take precedent. If the user has set 'Mouse Mapping' (i.e. 'relative' mode) in the OS, the subsequent WM_LBUTTONDOWN event will send the event to whatever Widget is under the current absolute position of the puck. On the other hand, if the WM_LBUTTONDOWN wins the race, then it's relative position will be used to determine the widget to receive the event, and everything will work properly.
2. There is no relationship between what the user selects in the 'Wacom Tablet Properties' Windows Control Panel applet and what QT does. The Control Panel applet determines how Windows moves the mouse, and not on what gets sent in the packets associated with the 'WT_PACKET' event, sent to QT. THE PACKET DATA WILL ALWAYS BE IN ABSOLUTE MODE, REGARDLESS OF THE CONTROL PANEL SETTING.
3. I have been unable to discover a way to discern what the user has selected in the Control Panel applet, and as a result, the following fix will FORCE QT to always use relative positioning for non-stylus (i.e. 4D-Mouse and Puck) Cursor Devices. This should not generally be a problem for most users. Further work needs to be done to detect when the Puck is set to absolute mode, and act accordingly.
4. The basic philosophy for the fix is, simply, to ignore absolute positioning for non-stylus Cursor Devices.
Patch (version 4.7.4):
Insert the following code at line 3535 in 'qapplication_win.cpp' (for windows, obviously):
// If the current tablet device is a mouse/puck, let the OS handle // the positioning. We only do absolute positioning here. if (currentTabletPointer.currentPointerType == QTabletEvent::Cursor) { return false; }

Thanks guys!
Now to find a way to implement this in the already existing programs on my computer...
I have the same problem. Developer and artist. Need both! please fix!
How soon can we have the Digia patch applied to the next QT release?
Over two years and still nothing has changed!
It's even 4 months after a solution has been given!!!
Qt should be ashamed...
The environment of this bug is not complete - it's also wrong on Win7 32-bit AND Win7 64-bit (and I guess all Windows OS)
Is it somehow possible to use an external program which converts the mouse events correctly before sending it to the Qt programs?
Is it somehow [possible to finally use a mouse with the Qt programs, so I can use them once again?
Is it somehow possible to patch existing programs using Qt so they can use the mouse correctly?
Is anything possible at the moment?
Hellooooo!! Qt, anybody around?
Oh well.. when you wait long enough, the clients using Qt and Wacom will vanish automatically..
(Yes, I am sarcastic because NOTHING seems to happen...)
@Arco Witter The 'solution' from Digia is really just a hack that checks the mouse position for every event. It shouldn't be regarded as a proper fix.
in that case it's even worse, right?
I found a 'hack' as you call it by temporary disabling the Wacom service with AutoHotkey:
runwait, net stop "TabletServiceWacom"
sleep, 2000
run, "C:\Program Files\Hauptwerk Virtual Pipe Organ\Hauptwerk.exe"
sleep, 2000
runwait, net start TabletServiceWacom
This way the Qt environment doesn't think the tablet is used and won't change the reading of the clicks.
After initialisation of the environment it won't check it again, so I can enable the service again, making the mouse work again and correctly.
@Arco Witter
Nice hack...
The AHK script can be generalised to accept a command line argument, so that it can be used to launch any application - just drag and drop the application onto the script, or use the run dialog: ahkqtlauncher.ahk c:\appfolder\app.exe
Stop and Restart the Wacom Tablet driver as a workaround when launching QTGUI apps.
Fixes issue where mouse clicks are misinterpretted with an offset,
as described in https://bugreports.qt-project.org//browse/QTBUG-6127
;Stop the Wacom Tablet service while we launch the QTGUI app.
runwait, net stop TabletServiceWacom
sleep, 2000
;Run the target application
run, %1%
sleep, 2000
;Restart the Wacom Tablet service to restore the mouse.
runwait, net start TabletServiceWacom
Can anyone offer some help on how to use the Autohotkey scripts provided? Some kind of a step by step write-up would be awesome. I just can't figure it out.
If you're using the "consumer" Wacom driver (Bamboo tablets, etc), then the service that needs to be started/stopped is called "TabletServicePen".
As to how to use the AHK script: (this is a hypothetical scenario in which I chose to use VLC as a demonstration)
1. Download and install AutoHotKey.
2. Copy/paste the script into an .ahk file using Notepad or similar.
3. Edit your VLC shortcut so that instead of running VLC directly, it launches the AHK script with the path to VLC as a parameter. Example: F:\Files\Wacom-QT-Fix.ahk "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" (of course, those paths may differ for you.)
This problem is not just in Wacom SW. I have the same problems with Nokia Suite (both of them), X-Rite's i1Profiler and in VMWare! All of them use QT!
Yes, vito, that's the point. Wacom tablets don't work properly in any application that uses QT because the problem lies in the QT library.
The only reason that our workaround involves the Wacom software is because we use it to trick QT into thinking that a Wacom tablet in mouse mode is just a normal mouse.
Please see my comment from earlier where I posted a patch to Qt that seems to fix this problem (at least for us). We need pressure events when using the pen, so fiddling with the tablet driver itself is not an option.
Please see the comment posted after where it's stated that the Digia patch is only a hack. No one has actually been able to fix the problem at its core.
Although, it would be nice to have the Digia patch applied to the library in the interim.
@soren121 that would be bad move. If Digia applied this patch to the core distribution, it would be very difficult to remove it; there must be a performance hit for testing and resetting the mouse position for every event and it wouldn't benefit the vast the majority of users.
Qt/Nokia just don't care about the desktop at this point; If this problem effects your product, then go ahead and apply the patch.
Building VLC is not an easy thing to do, much less patch it. At least there is a workaround.
@soren121 or you could not use VLC with a tablet/touchscreen in relative-mode.
Soren121 ... I do not have Wacom. I never had it! I have rest of listed programs. And in all I have mouse/click related problems!
vito, if you don't have a Wacom tablet, then this bug doesn't apply to you. Please start a new bug report.
It's great to see this extremely frustrating bug has been marked as being actively worked on. Any news on progress towards a solution?
I have the feeling this bug is the reason of this: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-11609 and this serious driver error https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-9190
I'm begging someone to provide a fix inside QT for this. Doesn't matter which application or tool you use or create - if you're a wacom tablet user with a puck - you lose.
Steve Booth has defined the problem precisely Nov2011 (above).
Its really hard to write an app using a pen. Really you should try it - you'll laugh, you'll cry... mainly you'll cry...
For the love of GOD would someone fix this Wacom tablet problem. It's affecting my livelihood. These are the apps that I use daily that don't register Wacom pen clicks (in mouse mode):
Virtual Box
Qt Creator
For me, Qt has acquired the stench of a hobbyist's toy – not suitable for any professional that needs to deliver product on a daily basis. I've said as much to the vendors of those applications.
I've read in the mailinglist that Qt5 wont have wacom support. Many people say "hey this is a feature don't nag us, keep it" but sadly they dont own a cheap Wacom. Wacom support is broken and none wants to really step in to fix it, but they still dont want it to be removed. But it's a nightmare for us!!!
Why on earth did Autodesk make such a stupid rash decision of choosing Qt for the UI? I guess they're trying to free up the marketplace for their competitors.
For all of the iPad-izing of everything – I'm sick of Apple and Microsoft tailoring their essential systems to the LCD and not providing a professional OS for us content creators. Someone has to use professionally tailored tools to create all the content upon which the fads rely.
Well, removing tablet support entirely resolves this problem. The error results from considering the values in the absolute tablet packets and it will vanish when tablet packets are never read. It will also make Qt useless for professional graphics applications that use tablet pressure and tilt information.
According to the information gathered in this bug report the only way to tell if the tablet is in absolute or relative mode is to check that the position reported by tablet packet matches cursor position which is what the Digia patch does.
Now people groan about this patch being a hack that disables subpixel precision, has a lot of overhead and is not the right way to do the stuff.
- subpixel precision is NOT available when the reported position is bogus. The patch enables at least pixel precision when bogus values are reported. The current code does not even guarantee the position as interpreted by Qt and the actual position are on the same screen.
- Qt is a mostrosity and every event that ever passes through its bowels is going through so many checks that give or take one nobody notices. The digia patch reportedly fixes the issue so there you go about overhead
- since the wintab interface is broken no right solutiuon exists. If you want to make the solution more 'right' do a isTabletAbsolute() which compares the tablet packet coordinates with cursor coordinates as in the Digia patch and if and when somebody figures out a better way to determine the tablet mode this can be replaced with the better way
> It will also make Qt useless for professional graphics applications that use tablet pressure and tilt information.
It IS right now close to useless (in that scenario).
> Qt is a mostrosity
You are going too far with this, Qt is cute, but has it's downsides. Saying Wacom works (they have examples showcasing partial Wacom support pretending it really works) is a lie, it breaks thing, it's hacky, it's better to disable it or remove it, or hide it, or something and stop saying Qt+Wacom works. This will keep Qt honest.
>> It will also make Qt useless for professional graphics applications that use tablet pressure and tilt information.
>It IS right now close to useless (in that scenario).
It is usable with tools that use absolute positioning. Since these tools are unusable with many native Windows 3D (DirectX?) applications this makes all tools unusable somewhere or other.
The ultimate fix is, of course, to not use Windows.
Still Qt claims Windows support so should attempt to support whatever is somewhat feasible to support which obviously does include tablets, Wacom or other.
Just to put things straight. We (at Digia) do have a Wacom tablet, and we still would like to fix the issues. We have just not managed to prioritize them yet. If someone else would like to help out, you are more than welcome to do so.
There is no problem at your side. The patch from you is rotting in this bug for a year by now. It's just Qt developers refuse to apply it to mainline because it is not 'proper' enough, and Windows tablet interface does not allow 'proper' fix to the best knowledge of anyone involved. Hence tablets won't ever work in Qt.
I can understand that tablets may not be initially supported in Qt5 if the toolkit undergoes a major overhaul and there is no device to test on but there is absolutely no reason to not have this fixed in Qt4 except for the absurdity of Qt development process.
@Michal Suchanek
All patches have to be committed against Qt 5 mainline before they can be ported back to 4.x. That's the rule over at QtProject and there are more critical things than this being held up because of it (
QTBUG-23258 comes to mind).
And as Qt 5 won't have tablet support, this patch won't be accepted.
Just want to point out (I've not looked at all the comments) that I am working on fixing this both for 4.8 and 5.0, I am currently working on a fix for the problem on Mac first since that was a bit more of a dramatic issue and then I will get working on the Windows side. I don't have any ETA but it is being given a high priority because I do understand that this needs to be addressed ASAP.
You are a prince. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm a Windows user but I'm just glad that someone is on this. Autodesk went "all in" on Qt and this problem has been dogging me since the 2012 releases last year (April 2011).
Glad to see that this is finally getting some love, I've been dealing with this bug among a multitude of apps since at least 2009 or so... most often when using VLC, and lately Origin.
If you need testers with the actual hardware, just let the community know... I suspect there are many of us that are sick of this bug that would do just about whatever we can to help you debug.
Thanks Andy.
Why is that report still open if it is practically a duplicate:
Not a duplicate because QTBUG-11609 is application specific (Qt Designer). This bug report on this page (
QTBUG-6127) is for the entire Qt library, not just a single app that uses it.
Well, it is a duplicate if it's about the same problem, regardless of whether that one mentions Qt Designer and this one mentions Qt. This task actually started out as a bug report against Qt Creator, but I moved it to a Qt bug since that's where the issue should be fixed since it affects all Qt applications (see the first three comments).
I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, but I would like some clarification. To wit...
When a bug is given an identifier on this site, does that identifier signify the bug report or the underlying bug itself? If it signifies the actual bug, then it would be premature to assign any identifier to the bug before the dev team diagnoses the bug's cause. If the assigned identifier is for the report (and not the underlying bug), then there would usually be many identifiers to any single underlying bug cause.
Is the ID for the bug cause, or the bug report? The disease, or the symptoms of the disease?
Ok, so to clarify, the identifier is for the report. Since we now have two reports open about the same issue, it would be appropriate to close the last one as a duplicate of the first, as Zingam suggested. This is because it is not helpful to have multiple identifiers pointing to reports about the same underlying issue.
I just wanted to point out, that I could confirm the problem for the 4.8.2 using a Wacom Bamboo. But with Qt 5.0.1 I don't get this problem any more (Win8 x64, vs2012)
Daniel, that's because in Qt5 they removed Wacom support, thanks!.
I have Qt-Creator 2.7.2 and Qt 5.1.0 installed and I cannot hover or click in Qt-Creator with my wacom bamboo tablet using the pen. With touch input it works though. I have Win7 64bit.
This change https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,58971 (with https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-30008 in the log, although it's for this bug just as much) added back the Wacom support on Windows, but that was on dev branch, which means it should be released in 5.2. Until then, Qt relies on mouse emulation. Christian, it's exactly the same for me; I'm not sure yet why mouse emulation is not working in Qt but is working in other Windows apps.
Qt Creator 1.3.0
Qt 4.8.4 (32 bit)
Wacom bamboo One (I tested all the versions)
Windows XP Pro SP3
In absolute mode, the tablet is working fine but in relative mode (the most recommended to keep a square aspect ratio and realistic rescaling):
1. Canvas events: Click events don't work in about 30% of the intents, like if there was a fictitious widget under the cursor.
2. Click events on widgets and buttons are not working in about 70% of the intents. I noticed that events are sent to the background window (to the canvas under the widget).
3. MyWidget->underMouse() function is not working & MyWidget->rect() is far away from event->pos()
4. event->pos() values are the same as event->globalPos() values, isn't it strange?
The bug doesn't occur permanently so event conflicts can be involved, the "UI interface" (from qt designer) vs "code generated interface" could be struggling for priorities.
Windows OS is sending automatic mouseclicks when tablet is pressed so, perhaps, qt is trying to skip/destroy them... well, I don't know.
Hope this helped!
So far the list of applications that Qt is failing on(which I use):
Nuke6, Substance Designer, Substance Player, Thinkbox Deadline6, Kdiff, CMake GUI, Git Extensions, Mudbox.
This should be fixed in 5.2. The new Windows tablet support does not seem to have the problem. Clicks, hovering, etc. work well even in relative (mouse) mode.
NB there are still some outstanding issues with relative mode ( https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,67597 ), hopefully these get corrected for 5.2 final.
