Well it's just not my week. I decided to replace the nib after another round of frustration and I didn't bother to check the proper procedure. I used some needle nose leatherman tool and replaced the nib. It seemed to work better but then me being me had to replace the old nib to see if the problem would come back. Well F Me skipping again the old nib disappeared into the hole with no way to grab it. I had pushed it hard to get it to reset like I had this morning but then after tugging the pen basically peeled apart on me and I could not get it to go back together. Perhaps my level of frustration contributed to this.
At any rate guess who just ordered a new pen. At least I got a discount code by googling and now I've watched a tutorial and know what the nib extractor was. I've never ever replaced a nib on any tablet. Perhaps the textured surface of the Intuos 4 is more likely to wear out a nib than my other tablet models.
The topper is I have a new Intuos Pro 5 and of course it's pen isn't compatible. I could of course install the new tablet on the home computer but I purchased it for remote work so I would have the best chance of compatibility with unknown OS systems and Avid versions. Plus I like the customization readouts of the side button functions on the Intuos 4 and have grown use to them. Oh well lets hope the new pin sorts things out. I can't believe the nib is ultimately the solution given the behavior I've been seeing but now it's new pen or nothing. Oh well quality problems although the inconsistency of the behavior is maddening.

This morning more spastic behavior from wacom tablet. Then without a reinstall of the driver if I press down fairly hard on the pen tip the multi clicking behavior seems to go away. It's starting to feel like the sensitivity threshold, if that's what it would be called is getting funky. Trying to click a folder on the desktop and drag it will usually result in the folder opening and not dragging. Once I press down hard the behavior goes away and acts more normal.
It's as if until is gets a really hard press down the tip sensitivity or pressure sensing is hyper or erratic. A hard press down and it seems to reset to a normal tip sensitivity, or whatever part of the code this is, and I can click and drag and it stops multi clicking with a light click of the pen tip.
What a pain.
I'm beginning to think there is some sort of master plan/conspiracy to force people into buying newer tablets. After my wife fought the battle with an intuos 3 we purchased a intuos 5 Pro and the tablet and or the new driver for it seemed to alleviate her issues in Avid. I'm really beginning to think there is more than Avid at fault with these issues because of the whacky/inconsisitent behavior I'm seeing at desktop, firefox and filemaker.
