Does a right-click activate edit mode directly or via a context menu?

Long-click is the traditional way to bring up the context menu in touch interfaces; it would not surprise me if the tablet handles this autonomously.

Pen click: you mean like clicking the mouse cursor on an object to "grab" it? The touch interfaces I am familiar with use a double tap for that.

Alternatively: does the unwanted event still occurs if you move the pen a tiny bit before 1s has elapsed?

Finally: I see there are Linux drivers for at least some models. Did you install those?! According to the manual I looked at there are many things that can be configured via the driver software. Maybe there is also something like a bios (firmware) settings screen you can call up when booting the tablet? It might be possible there to increase the required long-click duration, or even deactivate the feature altogether.

If you find no suitable solution you can always write to the company ([email protected]); I'm guessing you paid enough for this device. Long ago I was interested in a non-standard application of a graphics tablet with pen pressure and tilt detection, to be used from an SGI workstation. I got into contact with a product manager, who was eager and interested to help me write my own driver.
