We know it is broken. We have been told its rather unlkely it will ever be fixed in the old GTK2. theres nothing we can do unless a windows hacker steps up and fixes this.
All tablet bugs on windows for 2.8 series are to be deduped against this bug.
(No, we arent happy about it, but this is how it is) :(
Version: 2.8.0
