When I draw a box while holding down the shift key on my new Wacom it stays as a square even when I release the key. Why?

Maybe you need to look if there is an issue with the wacom or that it is using sticky keys, maybe it's a toggle on/off switch process?

It doesn't seem like the problem is with the Wacom. I switched over to Pages and tried switching off and on the shift express key. When I let go of it the letters immediately went from upper case back to lower case.

I haven't had a chance to set up specific shortcuts based on the individual programs so I can't figure out why the two pieces of software would work differently.

When you say toggle on/off switch do you mean a button that stays in one state until you click it again? I am not sure if Wacom has that feature? Also the other three buttons on the tablet work as expected. When I let go of those buttons they return to the default setting.

Yes.

I was looking through the settings and it doesn't look like it can do that as far as I know. Doesn't it seem weird that three of the buttons are working as expected?

UPDATE: I tried it just now and it isn't staying locked in the constrain setting now. I don't think I did anything to change it. I have been doing tutorials last night so maybe I accidentally

At first I thought it might be due to running the 2.1 beta but the problem was also coming up in Designer 1.11 and 2.0. I hope it doesn't happen again but it looks like I am set to keep working again!
