I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my weTab. Everything works perfectly (albeit slowly) and I can touch and use every application execpt ones written in Java.
When I start any Java Application the touchscreen does not recognize the left click.
I believe it's a problem in OnBoard (the onscreen keyboard) because when I touch the mouse icon on the OnBoard and then the Java Application the left click works.
This is very cumbersome for every click to first hit OnBoard mouse icon and then button in the Java app I would like to click. It defeats the purpose of a touchscreen.
The Java Application is definitly touchable as it's running on 10 other machines with Elo Touchscreen.
How do I get Ubuntu to recognize the left click in a java application automatically when I touch the screen? Or a way to dignose this so I can make a clear bug report?
This happens in all the desktop environments (Gnome/Unity, XFCE4 and LXDE)
I tried with openjdk-6-* and openjdk-7-*
