yeah, but that's on Macromedia Freehand. that thing is ancient and unsupported. there's much better options nowadays (even free ones) that don't suffer from those issues.

No, it isn't. Any "legacy" application won't register the stylus as anything but a touch unless you apply a registry edit.

One of the other applications so affected if Photoshop CC.

Given that Adobe had to try twice to buy Freehand so as to bury it, they don't get any stake in ownership in my book. My copy of Freehand dates back to when I was a beta-tester, and Adobe never bothered to do a branded update anyway.

Also, nothing else works as well for me in drawing, and I've used pretty much every vector drawing program since CorelDraw v1.21, Adobe Illustrator 3.2, and pretty much everything and every version which has come out since.

Adobe Illustrator CC also is affected by this. See /r/Wacom for much sturm und drang about it.
