I'm using RPCEmu Spoon Edition 0.8.2 on Windows with RISC OS 3.7 and have a problem with the position of the mouse pointer in some apps.
However, before I get on to that, I must first just say that I am hugely impressed by RPCEmu. I downloaded it expecting it to be of quite limited use but it's outstanding. The range of software that just works and the speed of it, even on a four-year-old laptop, is amazing. Well done to everyone involved! Anyway, back to my problem. It's most easily demonstrated using good old Acorn !Draw. If I select the line drawing tool and click to start drawing a line, the mouse pointer jumps about 20 pixels to the right. If I draw some lines in !Draw, the position of the lines is quite a way off where the crosshairs pointer is. When the pointer leaves the window, it returns to the correct position. As the crosshairs pointer has an active point that isn't at the top left, I wondered if that had something to do with it. Strangely, if you do move the pointer out of the !Draw window and then back again, the pointer appears at the correct position until you next click the mouse. The problem occurs even if I hold shift down at boot and bypass loading any software that might be interfering. This is pretty much the only annoyance I've found when using desktop applications. (No, I lie, the other one is that my laptop has no way at all of generating a menu click unless I connect a real mouse - that's really quite annoying - how about an option to swap menu and adjust?) Cheers, Mark
