Description Okay, so here's the low-down.
That little circle thing happens when I put my pen on the tablet and don't move it enough.
You might wonder why that's a problem?
1. The time it starts doing that is less than a second
2. I have to move my pen about half an inch to actually start drawing, making small details impossible
3. I can't quickly make dashes or it won't read them due to the half-a-second it tries to do that thing

What is that thing? It acts like a right click. After the circle is done , when you lift or move the pen, the right-click menu comes up.

I do not like this and it has made drawing hell for me, because trust me, It gets in the way! D:

MY question to you guys, on FA, is: How do I disable that, so my pen+tablet works like a pen+tablet?
I don't want that thing, and it's right-clicky circle, I have no eed for it, and it is making me piss angry when I try to draw.

I have contacted Wacom support, and they have told me it's a Windows 7 feature and it happens with all tablets, and they cannot help me.
I am not contacting Microsoft, too much trouble, and I need less trouble right now.

Is this a windows 7 feature or a Wacom Bamboo feature?
How to I disable it?
If you don't know, can you probably ask artists who use wndows 7 / Bamboo tablets please?
I really need this to go away, it is stopping me from enjoying my tablet and drawing more than I do

hmmm..I remember having that to for a bit. Usually it happens when the tablet isn't straight, or if your pressing too hard. Well it did for me anyway. Or maybe you have a faulty cord that is loose or something and the tablet isn't recognizing your movements.
I have windows 7 and use a bamboo. I've known a lot of artists have trouble with Bamboo because it keeps stuffing up. You really get what you paid for. Even if it's like 200 dollars, it's not going to be the best. (referring to Bamboo mostly) I don't really know much about the other tablets. But I hope this helps a tiny bit. Mostly just me rambling lol
