This issue looks like it would be better suited to the devel list and perhaps the bug tracker.

If I patch inkscape in order to produce output in sp_select_context_root_handler and sp_select_context_item_handler and put a printf at case GDK_BUTTON_PRESS, GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY, GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY on select_context_item_handler as well as GDK_BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE at select_context_root (the latter two I'll be naming GDK_BUTTON_PRESS/RELEASE____root from now on, I get the following behavior:

if I draw a square with the rectangle tool and switch to select (F1), I can move the mouse over the rectangle and I get GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY If I move the mouse out of the rectangle, I get GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY

If I press somewhere (outside of the rectanlge), I get GDK_BUTTON_PRESS____root, and when I release, I get GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE____root. This is also valid for the tablet.

If I press somewhere *in* the rectangle, with the mouse I get GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY GDK_BUTTON_PRESS

and if I release, I get GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE___root GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE___root (that's right, I get it twice), and the rectangle is selected.

If I do the same with the tablet, I get GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY GDK_BUTTON_PRESS____root

and upon release GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE____root GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY

and nothing is selected at all.

Maybe someone with a bit more insight could help me out here. It might have to do something with GDK and/or its implementation of XInput, but this would not explain the different behavior, I mean pressing outside of the rectangle generates PRESS and RELEASE as expected, but if there's an object under it, why is there a leave notify *not* followed by a enter notify just as it is the case with the mouse?
