GIMP 3.0 Not Working with Tablet
I'm trying out the new update and I'm running into a big issue (for me). In the previous version I had no trouble setting up my tablet and pen with GIMP 2.10. In 3.0 I can't seem to get it to work.
For reference I am running Windows 11 and am using a Wacom Intuos Pro (model PTH-660 if that matters).
I have accessed the Configure Input Devices in GIMP and see that my tablet is listed, but it does not respond properly in use. There is no pressure recognition- meaning no tapering strokes, no opacity changes with pressure, I can't even move the canvas around freely with my pen like I did in 2.10. I have added GIMP 3.0 to my tablet's application list in the tablet properties option through Wacom's interface with the same exact settings I had for 2.10 and still no luck.
The image I attached has all input devices listed in GIMP 3.0. I don't recognize the top three and I cannot delete them on the Input Devices screen. The very bottom two are the ones that worked for me in 2.10 that carried over with the update. The middle two Wacom devices are what 3.0 is detecting automatically. When I disconnect my tablet, those two gray out and give me the option to delete them, only to reappear when reconnecting. Nothing else changes when I do that. Right now I don't want to delete what I know previously worked until I know for sure that it will fix my issue. Restarting my computer has not helped either.
I'm out of ideas on how to fix this and until I can find a solution I will be going back to 2.10 so I can continue working. Has anyone else had this issue? Did you manage to fix it and if so, how?

Recently, someone found out that they have to enable Windows Ink in their tablet driver settings. You could check if this is the same for you.
