My browser / operating system: Windows NT 10.0, Chrome 59.0.3071.115, Flash 26.0 (release 0)

So I am an artist on Scratch. I have used my Wacom Tablet many times before on the Scratch editor. I am trying to use it now, and it isn't being responsive at all. I can move the cursor around the screen, and it hovers over the editor, flag, etc. But it won't click anything. I can't use the pencil tool at all in vector or bitmap. I can use my touchpad, but it isn't working for my tablet. Does anybody have any solutions? I even tried redownloading my tablet, I used it on other programs like Microsoft Paint and Pixlr Editor, but Scratch isn't working.

Please help because this is really putting me behind schedule.

Okay, now it is affecting everything i do.

I think your tablet pen is running out of batteries. Try recharging it or putting in new ones.

same thing is happening with me i don't know why ….

I'm not really sure if my tablet runs on batteries…but I can try that out Thanks for the feedback :3

its happening to me too. for me, it only works in downloaded programs. nothing online works. may be a problem with wacom.

Hmm…you may be on to something, as none of my regular online programs were responding to the tablet, but MS Paint and a few others were working..

Thank you for informing me of this <3

im going to try to contact customer support on monday. fingers crossed things get worked out!

i guess for now you could disable ‘Use Hardware acceleration where available’ in Chrome settings, or see if switching browsers helps. thats what im going to try.

My tablet isn't working with Scratch either, and my tablet's not even a Wacom! (It's a Huion.) I've been noticing that the Flash Player doesn't respond to tablets, which is a bug with Flash and not Scratch. Have you tried using the offline editor? If the offline editor doesn't work, you'll have to just make your art in other programs.

it started working after disabling “Use Hardware acceleration where available” in chrome.

i found another possible solution for wacom tablets is disabling “use windows ink”

Okay, so i think i found the solution after doing a bit if research:

its not the tablet's fault, but rather the browser i was using.

I was using Google Chrome when I was trying to draw on not only Scratch, but other online programs.

It's the flash player that Chrome uses or something, that messes with Wacom tablets


So i tried Microsoft Edge, and it worked just fine.

It's weird, so I dont know…

thank you all for the help tho

lol, just restart the computer. always works for me
