Wacom Volito Pen stops sending core events

Hello,

I'm just bought a Wacom Volito and tried to use it with Gimp. After some time it worked fine, except one thing.

If I understood correctly there are to kinds of events the wacom driver can emit: Normal core events like my mouse and extended events which include e.g. the pressure I use, when I'm drawing with the pen.

My problem is, that sometime when Gimp correctly grabs the extended input events from the tablet I'm unable to select a button out of the drawing window. Neither can I use the mouse for clicking on a button. It seems to me, that only the extended input events are emitted/grabbed. When I'm clicking out of the window for some time, the xinput switches back to normal, so that I can e.g. close a window or click a button. But this sometimes needs more than a minute or 100 clicks, which is pretty annoying.

I hope it's clear what my problem is and please excuse my bad English. I experienced the problem on my laptop and on my desktop computer and I would be very glad if someone could give me a hint.

The software I use is:

X.org 6.8.1.99 (Laptop) XFree 4.3 (Desktop linuxwacom xinput driver 0.6.6
Gimp 2.2.3-2 (Debian package)

Part of my xorg.conf/XFree86-4: #Trackpoint
