Known Issues

After Hot Fix 1 is applied you may encounter the following issues

-            Flicks issues – Tablet PC or touchscreen users may experience issues with gestures called flicks (using your tablet pen or finger to quickly navigate and perform shortcuts). To disable flicks so they do not interfere with Painter features go here.

-            When using  a Stylus in RTS mode you may not be able to create strokes on the Brush Tracking scratch pad.


We will continue to work with Microsoft to resolve the issue completely in future versions of .NET.
