In Vista, using a pen with click and hold right clicking disabled, two
mouse down events are registered if the pen is down for more than a
few milliseconds. This essentially makes this mode unusable in many
many programs, which is unfortunate since having click to hold enabled
has it's own (admittedly unavoidable) issue: the mouse down event
isn't sent until the press and hold times out, or the mouse is moved
or mouse up occurs.

Is this a known bug to be fixed by Microsoft? I'm surprised this was
never fixed in beta.

Hello Malorkus,

I am not seeing this on my Vista Tablet PC (Lenovo x60). What model are you
using?

Here is the test code I was using (in a C# Form). Does this code fire two
MouseDown events for each pen down on your computer?

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print("MouseDown");
}
}

Thanks,
Stefan Wick
