    When I draw in Xournal using a Wacom Graphire3 tablet with pressure sensitivity enabled, the last bit of each stroke appears to have been made full pressure, regardless of what the actual pressure was. I will attach an example file in a follow-up post to show this. I have not found this issue to occur with other programs using the pressure sensitivity of the input device, e.g. GIMP and MyPaint.

    Here is a file showing what I am referring to. Each stroke I made tapered at the end but they get a full-width segment instead.

    I was having the same problem using a Wacom Bamboo on Ubuntu 16.04. Luckily for us, the bug has already been fixed, but it's not in the latest version (0.4.8) so you will need to compile from source.

    I did this by running the following commands. YMMV

    $ git clone git://xournal.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/xournal/xournal
    $ sudo apt-get build-deps xournal
    $ cd xournal
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
    $ sudo make desktop-install

    Same problem here with my (classic) tablets X41 & X61 in version Xournal 0.4.8. Thanks John Cole for posting a solution. I'll try it and give feedback.

    For all Xournal-enthusiastic Linux-non-pros like me I'd like to add that there appears to be a typo in the second line. This version worked for me:

    $ git clone git://xournal.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/xournal/xournal
    $ sudo apt-get build-dep xournal #without the "s"
    $ cd xournal
    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ make
    $ sudo make install
    $ sudo make desktop-install

    Still not working? Make sure you have access to a source code repository.
    For Debian for example add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list

    deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
