1.7.5 Mouse click bug

by Steve Way · in Torque Game Builder · 04/30/2010 (8:05 pm) · 10 replies

This is a relatively minor bug but is anybody else experiencing problems with the GUI when they create or open a TGB project? When I try to select a collapsing/expanding menu on the right side of the GUI I have to use the bottom of the mouse icon, not the top point like expected. It's not critical but it is annoying.

Well, my screen resolution is set at 1600 x 1200 (widescreen mode). When I open a project in windowed mode, I often get the Torque logo appearing (sheared off) between the menu bar and menu buttons. That's when I get a pronounced mouse problem as you described.

I found a quick way to resolve this problem - manually resize the window to force a redraw.

Hello,

I find also that on my laptop everything is out of alignment, to click on a button i have to hover just about the button and click (this is using D3D) if i switch to OpenGL everything is fine.

Cheers

I tried switching between D3D and OpenGL, but for me, the problem stayed (and sometimes worsened).

Screen resizing did work... very strange.

If the AppData from the previous version still exists the cursor offset bug will still be present.

I heard that... but deleted the AppData and it still occurred. I even deleted the AppData and reinstalled but it still happened with me.

AppData from the previous version? I tried searching in AppData/Roaming but couldn't find anything recent there (concerning the project I am debugging) to delete. Strange.

Anyway, I have been tracing the problem all the way until around GuiCanvas::renderFrame. It seems that resizing the TGB window over at GuiCanvas::maintainSizing (within the last if statement) causes the problem to go away.

Any solutions already?

I just did a first time install and had the same problem. I switched to D3D which solved it for me. I am running an ATI Radeon HD 3450 at 1280x1024 if that helps anyone.

Yes, screen resizing fixed the issue for me as well!

So I'm having the same issue with 1.7.6, but it literally won't let me switch to D3D (when I go to the display driver drop down OpenGL is the only option). Screen resizing doesn't help. Any thoughts?
