Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

There's pretty persuasive evidence now that the shadowed variable bug is caused by stopping a debug run early. Since I trained myself to let debug run to the end of its natural course, I have not seen the problem. Hopefully that will help the team figure out the cause and fix it. On Mon, Aug 17,

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

Yay! That’s it. Second monitor with top above the main monitor with LiveCode window top above the same thing. This might be a bad fix for another bug, the one that blocks a stack from going higher than the tool bar. I know how it is about having work to get done and repeating little worka

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

I think I tried what you said. And afterward things are better. In the message box I put set the cursor to watch then set the cursor to arrow I went back to the editor and it was working right. Maybe I did something else, so I’ll have to see if this routine keeps working when this comes up.

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

Now the editor is acting up and I’m getting about 8, -61 in that corner. My situation is the same as Richards. It is a fixed vertical offset throughout the time of misbehavior, but I’m not sure whether that fixed amount changes a little from episode to episode or from stack to stack. For m

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

I don’t have the retina for Retina. My Mac’s don’t have it. So, in my case, that is not a factor. I tried to make a mouseMove test. Unfortunately, I did something that fixed it. I’m not sure, but I think the first mouseMove message fixed it. But, it could have been random or the recompilin

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

I have a stack that’s doing it. The mouseLoc is like 1, 2, essentially 0,0, in that corner. For the editor I get something like 27,-9 (menu?), but I’m not currently having trouble with the editor. In the stack that has trouble, I have to click well below an option menu, but I select normall

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

A quick test here looks ok, just as precise on my internal Retina screen and my external non-Retina monitor. One thing you could try is to Get Info on LiveCode, and check the box that says Open in Low Resolution. See if that changes anything. > On Aug 15, 2015, at 4:04 PM, J. Landman Gay wrot

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

In addition to the tests that Mike suggested, it would be interesting to see what you get back if you ask for the mouseloc in the message box when you see the problem. Put the cursor up near the 0,0 point of the editor so you have a visual reference. I do like the term "Gatsby bug." :) On 8/

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

makes me wonder.. There are several ways the cursor can change shape while in use. I wonder if the ball gets dropped somewhere along the way. I've seen my cursor get stuck occasionally in the "pane resize" mode, though I can't reliably reproduce it. When this occurs its nearly always in the editor

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

It doesn’t feel like a 3rd party mouse issue to me, but that is only because the problem is limited to LiveCode stack content. (I have a Macally EcoMouse hooked up at the moment.) This occurs in the content of some LiveCode windows. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it outside of that. It most

Re: mouse pointer hot spot is way off

If its a bluetooth mouse, you might disconnect, and reconnect it and see if the problem goes away. Or try a wired mouse for a bit and see if it works better. I think I also read somewhere that turning off wifi for a min, then back on can reset the connection to a bluetooth mouse. (some shared hard

mouse pointer hot spot is way off

Hi, I’m an old-timer who has been away from the list for a while. I’ve run into a problem and I think it is a LiveCode problem but it might be an OS X problem or some combination. I’m using 6.7.5. Very often the hot spot is off, usually about 50-100 pixels high, for one or more windows in
