Tablet Tester: Fix extreme lag with S Pen on Android
So this is weird, I noticed that on my S9 tablet the tester is very laggy. I found a solution, but it's not... clear why this happens?
Unless the tablet tester itself (the widget inside of the tablet tester you draw on) is focused, it will appear to lag greatly and the reason isn't exactly clear why. Here's the broken vs. fixed tablet tester to show what I mean:
But I really don't like these kinds of "???" fixes, although it does seem to work. Note that you can do this in the currently released Krita by selecting the log window with your pen, and it has the same effect. This patch just makes it work out of the box.
Test Plan
- Try the tablet tester on Android and see if it lags before and after this patch.
- I have no other Android tablets on hand with pen support, only this S9 :/
