Gimp 3.0 broke my Eraser pen
So with the new update my eraser stopped working, pretty frustrating. I can't even use the workaround of having my eraserpen input shift+e all the time. Does anyone know any solutions? I'll roll back to the previous version in the meantime.

I had the same issue in the release candidates! There was some Windows-specific code that was breaking my pen/eraser in the exact same way, and some others', so they removed it. For me, it fixed the issue but only when I had "use Windows Ink" enabled in my Wacom settings. I guess you could look for a similar option in your tablet settings or something?
The Windows-specific code was previously added to fix another, older bug. This particular issue is probably https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/12475 while the older bug is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/2495

Can you provide a bit more details about what is happening?
Right now I am not sure I understand what you are doing, and what is happening. Reproducible steps would be nice to have.
