Subpixel and TabletPC, I don't get it

hi guys! I hope you had a good trip back after Annecy.

Thanks for adding the frame exposure counter in TV Paint 9, few people got excited watching a quick TVPaint9 demo I recorded yesterday. I will post the link later.

Back to the topic, what is the deal with the subpixel option and tabletpc?

From what I understand, since few versions, we can just untick the subpixel option and draw in any orientation (landscape, landscape2, portrait, portrait2) which is great since my HP 4200 has a jog at the top of the screen when used in landscape2 and I would love to be able to use it for "flipping my drawings"

Unfortunately, when unticking the Subpixel option, each stroke starts with a straight line. I know about the RMB tablet pc option but sadly, this doesn't solve the problem.

For that reason, I have to go back the subpixel option and get back to the landscape1 orientation.

It's a known Tablet PC issue.
In fact, it comes from the tabletPC settings.
I had exactly the same problem with my Toshiba Portege M400 : the system was trying to find how many time I was hitting the screen with my stylus, so my strokes were distorded each time I was sketching.
I had an option, that was enabling the right mouse button if I was not moving the cursor dring the two first seconds ... Once this option was turned off, everything worked fine.

well that s why I posted the screenshot Herve. Even when I disable the RMB thing and restart the pc, I still have that straight line. I even recorded a video actually.
