Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Xreader 3.2.2 on Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon with the linked PDF and an XP-Pen Star G430, comparing tablet and mouse clicks. Trace the hyperlink activation path and verify that document and external links open with a tablet click without requiring a mouse click first.

Description

 * Xreader version 3.2.2

 * Distribution - Linux Mint 20.3 Cinnamon

Issue

I cannot click hyperlinks in xreader with my Graphic Tablet (XP-Pen Star G430). I did not mess with the Tablet softwarewise in anyway, just plug and play.

I can click the same links with my Mouse.

I was able the reproduce the error with this online Document: https://southsideprojects.com/pdf-with-hyperlinks-example.pdf

Here is the video of my attempt to open the link using my tablet.
First I try it with the Tablet - it does not work. Then I Pause. After that I click one time with the Mouse. Then it works.

Expected behaviour
Beeing able to open hyperlinks with a simple Click on the Tablet.

Other information

Originally i realized this error with links that link to another page of the same document. Those links show the same behavior like the Hyperlink in the Video
