For the record, I didn't see your last response because you posted it while I was replying with my own, but yeah, perhaps that FAQ entry should be broadened a bit. This is definitely not a mouse (though I wouldn't be shocked to learn the drivers share a lot of the same code) and it also didn't manifest as an "occasional" freeze or crash.
I don't know what to tell you as far as how I've "gotten away with it" for this long. I've been using Wacom drawing tablets for a couple of years now on this same computer and I haven't seen any problems up 'till now. The conversion issue I mentioned may very well have started around the same time I upgraded from a Wacom Bamboo to an Intuos a couple of months ago, but conversions shouldn't have anything to do with the Qt library, would they?
The other issues only
just started last week and AFAIK, the Wacom drivers don't do any kind of auto-update and there's nothing in my Windows Update history to indicate Windows 10 pushed through any Wacom drivers, so I'm at a complete loss to explain the sudden change.
