# Linux Ubuntu Wacom Pen Proximity Click Issue

Ubuntu 17.04 comes with a version of the linuxwacom project's [`input-wacom`](https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom)
that, when you bring the pen to the screen, [registers a click](https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/commit/5181a23c0c11ff59b80df06ec3e897bac660645b). This has the
following really, really annoying behaviors:

* Deselcting the thing you're working on in Inkscape
* Causing random palette changes or paint blobs in Krita
* Making web browsing near-impossible
* Making near-everything even more annoying

The solution is to [manually install](https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Installing-input-wacom-from-source)
0.37.1 or up of `input-wacom`. It only took me a few minutes, and my pen returned to the pre-17.04 behavior.
