Can this be fixed?
No
Look, a DAW is not supposed to work with a tool for graphic design.
A lot of people use tablets as a mouse replacement.

You literary using a screwdriver as a hammer.
He is literally using a pointing device as a pointing device.

There is no valid reason at all for lmms to support a wacom tablet interfase, it is simply not meant to be used for a DAW. It is meant for photoshop and as like.
I notice that LMMS supports a touchpad, which is a dumbed down tablet like pointing interface. I suggest that LMMS should remove touchpad support as it's simply not meant to be used for a DAW.

If you think you have a usecase where a tablet is the only solution, then present
that.
There are people in the world who can not, for reason of RSI, touch a mouse. They are literally incapable of holding a mouse without great deal of pain. Which does not occur while holding a pen.
Your response has obviously irked me. Please think your kneejerk arguments trough before you present them next time.

Now that musikbear has been dealt with, dear Sueper, I too have realised that I can not use my preferred pointing device with LMMS and using it with a mouse seems imprecise and slow.
I think that the Wacom driver is sending a different type of signal opposed to the touchpad driver. I tried to configure it, but none of the driver options seems to have helped. I think that the tablet device sends the scroll offset even when the pen is not moving. Not sure about the specific details about the implementation of the driver, but I am gonna have a look at the input processing. If it's as simple as I think it might be, it should be only a few lines somewhere in the codebase.
