2011-09-04 Chrome & Wacom
Someone painted a beautiful female portrait but stopped because the application apparently stopped working.
The saddest part: I knew of the problem. It's Chrome-related.
If you are using Chrome with the Wacom tablet plug-in and switch applications, the plug-in stops working. Next time you try to to make a stroke nothing happens.
You can make it work again by reloading the page (and wait until the history is repainted) which will reembed the plug-in. You could also turn off opacity jitter but that defeats the purpose.
At this time I don't know who to blame exactly (me, Chrome (probably), Wacom) but I'm trying hard to fix it. It's a shame because Chrome performs great otherwise.
