Removable Drives and Media: tablet

Could anyone confirm that there might be a bug when plugging in a tablet?

Or perhaps it's my bash script? It defines my tablet to be restricted to a single of my three monitors:

#!/bin/bash
TABLET_ID=$(xinput | grep '10594 Pen Pen' | cut -f 2 | cut -c 4-5)
MONITOR_SELECTION=$(zenity --list --title='Select Monitor' --radiolist --column 'Selection' --column 'Monitor' FALSE 'Left' TRUE 'Center' FALSE 'Right' --height=450)

case $MONITOR_SELECTION in

     Left)
     MONITOR="DP-2"
     ;;

     Center)
     MONITOR="DP-3"
     ;;

     Right)
     MONITOR="DP-4"
     ;;

     *)
     exit 1
     ;;
esac

xinput map-to-output $TABLET_ID $MONITOR

echo $TABLET_ID $MONITOR_SELECTION $MONITOR

exit

When I plug in the tablet, I get a dozen popup zenity dialogs -- it's clearly being called multiple times (I have to disconnect the tablet to stop the spawning.)

Re: Removable Drives and Media: tablet

don't have tablet to try, bud maybe yout is represent as multiple devices? anyway you can try add to start of script some checking if running, and if yes then exit...

Added later 04 min 06 s:
ex. before TABLET_ID line add:

pgrep -f 'zenity.*Select Monitor' && exit
