Wacom clicks don't work on macro panel

[livetheshot 16]

Hi,

Wacom taps or clicks don't work on the macros panel. They work for everything else.

I've uploaded a video to show the issue. I can use my Intuos Pro with all the usual panels however when it comes to clicking on a macro, nothing happens and I need to resort to using my mouse.

Thanks,

Wayne

It's been reported as an issue a while back, yes. QA was aware of it when I ran into this.

Just discovered a workaround! It's not perfect and it'd be great for the single tap to work.

I played around with the wacom tablet settings and under the advanced menu, when I switched to click and tap, the macro worked!

That setting does change the pen button's behaviour quite noticeably - great if that works for you though.

I second this. I'm using a different brand tablet (Yiynova) and am experiencing the same issue. 
Macros don't always execute after one mouse click, and often take a few clicks to work, and are completely unusable with a tablet pen/stylus on desktop.

Yes it does and it's a workaround.

This is currently the quickest way around for me as I need to edit and retouch a lot of photos this week for work.

Another workaround is to right click the macro in the Layers Panel, select Edit Macro and run it from the Macro Panel

I have this problem with a Huion tablet. Macros don't run with a pen tap.

They do work with a press key programmed to left click.

I also have the issue with a mouse. Macros don't run with one click and sometimes not with two clicks.

The Edit Macro workaround works for now.
