I believe I finally figured out what is going on with some of the scribble problems. It looks like the pen detection algorithms are a bit sensitive. As such, the software detects the pen as if it is touching the screen, when in fact, it is just above the screen. I am talking hairline above the screen,but not actually touching it. See the first picture attached. The circles in the middle were drawn while the pen was not touching the screen. This seems like a trivial complaint, but it isn't. When cursive writing, such things as crossing the "t"s, and dotting the "i"s involve lifting the pen a hairline and moving it to the correct location (see the extra lines inside 8 and 0. Unfortunately, a lot of times this lifting is not detected, and results in poor looking text. note that my problem with selection zooming was resulting from this as well - I was holding the pen a hairline above the screen while trying to decide where to start my selection, while the algorithm was registering that movement as actual selection.

Also, I have included additional pictures to show pen registration algorithm problems associated with the edges. I repeated the same text over and over to show the issue. Note that around the bottom edge, the text looks elongated,while around the side edges it is compressed (and unreadable). Around the very top it is so compressed that it almost looks like a short wave. But below that it is elongated.

Finally, note how at the top, the lines are faint. Once the page is refreshed,however, they are fully dark (the third image).

PS: My apologies for the poor quality photos - all I have is my phone.

PS2: You may want to consider indicate the scribleable area in PDFs, otherwise around the edges one gets sharp cutoffs which look very odd.

PS3: Given that IREX has been working with WACOM digitizers for so long, at first I was surprised that they are having issues adjusting the sensitivity detection algorithms. Based on posts on the 1000 thread, it looks like they are doing sensitivity adjustments and edge adjustments on that device, so obviously they are really starting from scratch with this code. Best of luck to you guys in getting it right. You are not too far off.
