Yes, the same happens for the portable version. By the way, I am on Win 10 x64, if this is relevant. Also, I use Avast Free Antivirus. This always makes problems while installing, telling me that the install file has to be sent to the Avast server for checking and the install is only enabled after I get the ok from Avast. When I last started DR it told me the same, but I grew impatient and used the "Run it anyway" option. I have not reported, yet, as I considered it a nuisacne, but not really a problem, but wanted to mention it on the off-chance it might be connected.

I'm using Win10 x64 as well, that shouldn't be a problem. I can neither confirm nor deny that the Antivirus stuff is interfering, though its behaviour sounds a tad patronising to me.

 

I could also have a look at the darkradiant.log file if you send it my way.

The logfile is created anytime DR is started. It's located in a path like C:\Users\greebo\AppData\Roaming\DarkRadiant\darkradiant.log, but with your username instead of mine.

Thanks for the log. While I don't see anything suspicious in there, I could reproduce this issue here on this machine (I couldn't repro it on the notebook at work).

 

Can you please open an issue on the tracker for this?

 

I didn't catch this issue because I never use the Floating layout myself. Next time, please make sure to join the pre-release test phase, this saves myself from having to push out another build just one day after release.

Greebo, I'm getting a wierd bug with the latest version of DR to do with my mouse.

 

Usually I hold right click to drag the map, sometimes when I do that, it fails to drag the map, and just brings up the right click menu. Another wierd

related bug, is with an AI selected, If I reload DR, AI options are editable, like vocal, head etc. However sometimes, they just refuse to open.

At the moment, I'm checking the voices of the AI on my map, and I can open it on one AI, but it won't open on others, so I have to close DR reopen

it and reload the map then I can change it, but only once. It's an intermittent and occasional problem. It's happened today twice, and is happening again.

 

If you've a debug tool, drop the link in and I'll get all the data for u when it's happening and send it to you. The mouse is a logitech one, doesn't really have

a number or anything. I'm not sure though if it's a DR issue, or a Windows issue. I just rebuilt windows 2 days ago, and a similar thing happened there.

Might just be the mouse on the way out, though when I try to open that Voice selection menu in AI options, it won't open but I can click on anything else, any

menu. Everything works except that. Wierd

DR will open the context menu when you press and release the RMB at the same location (with *no* allowed movement in between press and release). Does the menu open before you release the button? Does it open even if you move the mouse while holding the button?

Can't reproduce that here. The picker dialogs open everytime, before and after switching to another AI.

 

Is this any of the above specific to the 2.3.0 release, or did that happen in earlier versions as well?

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
