In the past year Manjaro + Gnome + Xorg + Wacom + Krita worked swimmingly, but since the 2023-11-06 update, I have not had a stable drawing experience. The culprit seems to be Gnome+Xorg, because drawing works reasonably well in KDE Plasma, less so in Wayland.
To be certain that no weird configurations were causing this, I did a fresh install of the whole OS. The problem persisted under Xorg, even with the most recent 2023-11-20 update.
Xorg: Using the tablet, if I hover over the dash or certain other places, GUI crashes to the “Oh no! :[” screen. Going to Settings > Wacom and clicking “Map buttons” reliably causes this crash after a second’s pause.
Wayland: No GUI crashes as of yet, and works fine initially, but as the session goes on and I switch between multiple windows (e.g. Krita, OBS, Firefox), the cursor will get “stuck” in resize mode or turn invisible. When stuck, I can move the cursor around freely using either the tablet or mouse, but clicks and taps have no effect in certain windows even if they’re in focus, and even if I close and reopen them. The only way to reliably fix this is to restart but the problem eventually returns with time.
Inxi is below and I can provide the crash logs if needed.
I would love to get drawing working again in EITHER Xorg or Wayland. Any help is appreciated.
