[MacOSX] Instability with latest Wacom drivers

[Thierry]

Hello Mac users,

A few days ago, Wacom released a new version of their drivers, 6.3.13w3.
It would seem that on MacOSX, these drivers can bring lot of troubles, wheter you use an Intuos, Cintiq 27 or Cintiq 13HD : a few examples here, here, here and here (the last two are mostly related to Photoshop, but there's a possibility that other software may be affected).

While Wacom may be developping a new update, I would not advise you to use the 6.3.13w3, but to stay on an older version.

I'll keep this topic updated

Thank you for posting this warning . I will share this with others who may be affected by this driver update.

I missed this warning and updated my wacom driver. Now every time I switch to another app and then back to TVPaint the cursor follows my pen, but TVPaint doesn't recognize the pressure, meaning that I can't even click.
If I use the mouse to draw something, I can use the pen afterwards. This behavior only exists in TVPaint, not in Photoshop or Mischief.

Wacom does not recommend upgrading to OS 10.11 (“El Capitan”) if using a Cintiq 27QHD or Cintiq 27QHD Touch until an updated driver is released.
Wacom expects the driver to be available within one week of Apple’s release of OS 10.11
