    Hi! Samsung S-Pen has been broken in 2019.2.5 and I've created this bug:
    http://fogbugz.unity3d.com/default.asp?1185531_ci3gd3if3jqjrrjq

    In short, Input.GetKey is only fired when S-Pen starts touching the screen and is not fired when drawing with S-Pen. I believe Samsung devices are very popular and wonder why Unity didn't fix it yet.
    At the same time Apple Pencil works fine on iOS (it uses the same technology as S-Pen).

    My interest is that I'm making a drawing app and can't update Unity anymore as S-Pen is a key feature for my app. How can I force fixing this issue? Thanks.
