Selecting causes unintentional grab action with Wacom pen and high resolution screen
There is often a small unintentional cursor movement when using the side switches on the stylus pen. This causes an undesirable grab action with the default key map. It happens about 75% of the times. There is a Tweak Threshold (input) that can be raised to a higher value to mitigate this. The default is at 10px.
My proposal is to use percentage of the screen size as the value on the Tweak Threshold setting. This will make the default setting more stable across different resolutions.

You already have a threshold setting in Blender. In user preferences under the input tab, you can adjust Drag Threshold and Tweak Threshold. These adjust how far you can move the mouse cursor before it registers as a grab. Try doubling the values and see if that works for you.
@dpdpforlife: Ohh... I did not know this. Thanks for the information. Since the threshold is specified in pixels and my screen is at 5K resolution this is probably a result of the combination. I will update my proposal :-)
@Emil Assarsson: Good point. These thresholds should be more universal for high dpi displays. I also really think that there should be an interaction preset for tablet users that includes larger thresholds and some optimizations to interaction that work better for Wacom pens.
Could you be more specific than "works badly"? What exactly is it doing that you don't like or doesn't work for you? Without a clear description of the issue, it's hard to determine if the solution you're proposing is the best one.
@Jason van Gumster: I have updated the Title and description. Did it become more clear? Thank you for the feedback.
@Emil Assarsson: Much more clear. Thanks.
