Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:97.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/97.0
Steps to reproduce:
Use a pen to navigate Firefox, with "Pen as Mouse Input" setting in Windows.
Actual results:
The pan/drag function Windows Ink forced on us. Now it works just like Edge.
Double-tap doesn't select a word, triple tap doesn't select a line. Sometimes you can get the blue selector tabs
Expected results:
actually use the pen just like a mouse in Firefox, swipe to select text, double tap selects a word, triple tap selects a line.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
My vague recollection is that smaug might have the hardware to repro. (I don't.)

Disabling dom.w3c_pointer_events.scroll_by_pen.enabled will restore the previous behavior. I'll file an issue to make it an official configuration.
I wonder there's an API to detect the pen-as-mouse-input system settings, btw.
Thanks for the workaround, that has the pen functioning as expected by me at least.

Where can I find the dom.w3c_pointer_events.scroll_by_pen.enabled? I tried searching my PC for it but it didn't turn up.

about:config in the firefox browser
Thanks, I tired it and it didn't fix it. But at lest it's a start.
