Mouse events are blocked - A way to escape from this state
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:45 amHi I have been experimenting with the latest version of Wandora, and I will try to describe how to reproduce the bug I am referring to in the subject of this post. This type of bug, has also happened in previous versions of Wandora during other kind of actions, but here I am describing a specific action related to the new features of the program.
O.K start the program then create a new instance topic of Wandora class e.g. 'This is a test',
Double click on this new topic, by default the traditional topic panel displays the topic
Right click on the Variant names and select "Add variant name"
The window 'Add variant name' appears, then enter a name and click Add scope topic. You may try with the already defined 'Scope Display' topic and finally press OK and that is exactly where the bug appears.
Let me be more specific, at this program state, the mouse pointer can change from an arrow style to the hand style or bracket style when you move it on top of various widgets but you cannot select anything, you cannot do any action, when you press the mouse buttons. You cannot select menus, you cannot type on the text boxes, you cannot do anything with the mouse at this program state. What about the console messages ? There are no console messages displaying anything !!!
But there is a way to escape that condition by using the keyboard and a shortcut. You press for example Ctrl+L and the "Open Wandora project" pop-up window appears. You click cancel and you continue normally as before, the mouse events are now fully working as before. The console displays the message setRootTopic, reuse....
Important : I noticed that the traditional topic panel has been set by me to view all scopes (Righ click Variant names - View - View All scopes). If you set that back to View - View schema scopes the bug can be reproduced as above by selecting "Add variant name". You can also reproduce the bug by selecting Menu View-View topic as - Variant name....
O.K hope that bug is documented sufficiently, if not let me know....
