Holding the shift key while multi selecting items, DR will then select a bunch of items behind the ones your trying to select. In DR1.5x86 it happened occasionally, but in 1.6.1 its more than occasional to the point where its becoming a headache.

I have found another mouse selection related issue with 1.6.0 versus 1.5.0 and this is the right click move around, release, right-click move etc in Ortho view. In 1.5.0 it works fine, right-click-hold and move around in Ortho as quickly or as slowly as you like. but under 1.6.0 50% of the time the right click menu keeps popping up - very very annoying.

As I've already added to the notes section to the reports - nothing has changed in between 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 with regards to mouse handling/movement/whatever (the underlying GTK+/gtkmm libraries haven't changed neither), so I'd like to get more feedback on that whether this affects anybody else? I need some confirmation that the issues at hand are indeed due to a technical "misbehaviour" in DR, and not due to user-specific factors like drivers or the way the mouse is used.

Greebs, I will try to be as analytical as possible in an effort to further narrow down the above issues.

It could be that you have dragged the mouse (even a little bit) while holding the button down.

Re the ortho multi-select that's correct, but for what ever reason this has been progressively more pronounced since DR 1.4.0, while my OS, keyboard & mouse haven't changed.

What I can offer is to make the so-called "device epsilon" configurable through XML files. Right now the value is 8 divided by the window dimensions, e.g. 8/400 if the window is 400 pixels wide. The factor 8 is hardcoded at the moment, that could be increased on the user's own "risk".

I log 2 bugs in the morning. I log 2 bugs at night. I log 2 bugs in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright.

 

sorry, couldn't resist

I am more than happy to test this out Greebs! Will this have any effect on the right click menu bug aswell..? as that one is driving my nuts as it happens all of the time and frequently etc.

i've noticed the right click problem on the 1.6.1 version of darkradiant, where the right mouse click menu turns up when you try to drag the view in a floating 2d screen, it turning up more often than it used to in version 1.6.0, this being the 32bit version on win xp.

 

haven't had the other click bug cos I haven't use it.

ah thanks Stumpy, I'm glad its not just me then..
