2.10.2 Switching Input device disables interaction with anything but the canvas

I just recently got a Wacom Intuos and it worked fine with 2.8.22.

Now, when i switch - physically - between my pen and mouse, i can only interact with certain parts of the interface with either device. I get the idea, it's great, but can i set up which device can interact with which interface element? Curently it randomly assigns either one to being able to interact with the layers/toolbox windows or the canvas.

I have set up the tablet as good as i can (and as many times as i could take). No setting in either gimp or the Waqcom software changes the Issue.

Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64bit) AMD FX-8350
Wacom Intuos

2.10.2 Switching Input device disables interaction with anything but the canvas

Back to 2.8.22, the problem persists. Unfortunately i don't remeber how i tricked it before, and 2.10 overwriting stuff broke it.

Any ideas how to achieve what i suggested in the first post in ANY version?

2.10.2 Switching Input device disables interaction with anything but the canvas

I traced it down to gimp apparently being unable to handle a second monitor. When i completely disable my second monitor it works as intended.

It worked with both screens before, so if anyone has a clue or plug-in i'd appreciate it.

Found a fix here:

...although it's wonky, it works.

Gimp needs to learn to recognize the active display on multiple screens...
