Any word on getting a “Scroll (Legacy)...” option as well?
As previously mentioned, the Scroll setting seems to work better than Pan/Scroll in some applications.

No, it is not OK.
There is a problem when scrolling in Gogle tables or just Excel.

With the old driver you just scroll and page is moving up and down.

With the new driver with Pan/Scroll (legacy) enabled there is a selected cell and when you move the pen up/down the selection is changing horizontally instead of vertically. The selection is changing horizontally to the end of the row then it is moving to the next row, then again.
So, the effect is very slow vertical scrolling.

Can you, please, check this and repair it to be as the old driver scroll?

I can make a movie with old and new driver for comparison if its needed...

I cannot reproduce this. Please contact the support team and provide more details. https://www.wacom.com/support/contact-support

Scroll... was developed as a new feature for the current Intuos tablets 2 years ago and never moved the cursor while active. There are no plans to add the "legacy" cursor behavior to any other features.

In the video you are using the Pan/Scroll... feature which pan left and right or scroll up and down depending on the movement of your pen on the tablet surface. The fact that panning didn't work in a near-four year old driver means that panning has been fixed to work as intended with the current driver.

If this doesn't suit you, there's a couple of options: The option of using Scroll..., or stopping the driver service and modify the AppGestures file to remove the Pan definitions before starting up the driver again.

Scroll... is a simple workaround, but the behavior of the feature isn't the same, it works like middle click in a web browser where it will continue to scroll until the pen returns to the point of origin.

If you would prefer the behavior of Pan/Scroll... but without the "Pan" function in Excel, you can to try the following steps:
1. Open the Windows Services and stop the Wacom Tablet Professional Service.
2. Navigate to %programfiles%/Tablet/Wacom and open the AppGestures.xml file.
3. Search the file for Excel or any other program they wish to modify this behavior.
4. Find the <PanLeft> and <PanRight> definitions and delete them.
5. Save and close the AppGestures.xml file.
6. In Windows Services start the Wacom Tablet Professional Service.
This file will be removed on uninstall, and it is modified in newer driver versions to fine tune existing shortcuts and add definitions for new programs.

I understand this is probably frustrating but I hope you understand there have been others using this panning behavior in Excel for almost four years and it doesn't seem to be a common complaint.

I am using Google Sheets with Firefox, not Excel.
In the AppGestures.xml there is no Pan element in Firefox segment:
<ArrayElement type="map">
<displayname>Mozilla Firefox</displayname>
<identifier type="string">firefox</identifier>
<ZoomIn type="map">
<modifiers type="string">control</modifiers>
<input type="string">scrollwheelup</input>
<amount type="double">1</amount>
<amountmultiplier type="double">1</amountmultiplier>
<granularity type="double">5</granularity>
</ZoomIn>
<ZoomOut type="map">
<modifiers type="string">control</modifiers>
<input type="string">scrollwheeldown</input>
<amount type="double">1</amount>
<amountmultiplier type="double">1</amountmultiplier>
<granularity type="double">5</granularity>
</ZoomOut>
<ScrollUp type="map">
<input type="string">scrollwheelup</input>
<amount type="double">1</amount>
<amountmultiplier type="double">2</amountmultiplier>
<granularity type="double">1</granularity>
</ScrollUp>
<ScrollDown type="map">
<input type="string">scrollwheeldown</input>
<amount type="double">1</amount>
<amountmultiplier type="double">2</amountmultiplier>
<granularity type="double">1</granularity>
</ScrollDown>
</ArrayElement>

I'm a professional designer and this scrolling issue is not acceptable. Can't work properly like this and installed an old driver. Hate to waste my time on this.

What issue are you referring to? The issue reported originally in the beginning of the thread has been fixed a while ago so it would be very helpful if you could tell us about the issues you are having now.

First, thanks for providing the Pan/Scroll (Legacy) option in the Wacom Driver. I've been using an old driver for a very long time because of this reason, but after finding out the option was added, I finally updated to the most current driver today.

I did notice however the same issue cepcem described specifically for Excel. However, in all applications, the horizontal panning causes major issues. For example, in the Windows Explorer, scrolling is almost completely blocked most of the time. Probably because some horizontal panning is detected, but you can't expect a user to perfectly use the pen vertically.

So, while I understand that horizontal panning might always have been the intended behaviour and it was previously 'broken', it makes usage of the tablet as a replacement for a mouse in all of Windows very hard.

Removing all occurrences of both <PanLeft> and <PanRight>in the AppGestures.xml file did resolve this issue for me, but I think it would help many people to also allow this to be set as an option when choosing the Pan/Scroll (Legacy) option. Perhaps something like a checkbox with Enable horizontal panning?

Thanks in advance for considering and thanks for the information about the AppGestures.xml file, allowing me to resolve this problem in another way for the time being.

Just wanted to express gratitude for the addition of the Pan/Scroll (Legacy) option! Just what we have been asking for.

Thank you for the Pan/Scroll (Legacy)!. I feel like I can breathe again.
