I have an issue with the layer panel when trying to window select multiple layers.
When I want to drag a window selection from the bottom right, upon the first click my pointer jumps to the monitor bottom right corner.
here’s a recording (only the rhino window was captured)
I noticed I have the same issue with my fileexplorer ( freecommander) and found a topic about it, where it is suggested this issue was introduced with the infamous windows 10 FCU
Here’s a link, notice the post with the animation also displaying what I experience in the rhino layer panel. http://www.forum.freecommander.com/viewtopic.php?t=8217
Not sure if this is something to be solved by RMA or Microsoft but I thought it best to report it anyway.
Edit did some digging:
It is stated to be related to the horizontal scrollbar being present.
Hi Willem - I’ve had one other report of this ( I now realize, it was not well explained) and it does not happen here with plain Windows, no utilities. Hm looks like Freecommander is 32 bit unless you pony up… is that what you’re using or is it the 64 bit version?
I see the behavior here as well. It indeed happens only when the horizontal scrollbar is visible. When I size the panel such that the scrollbar is no longer visible I don’t see it happen anymore.
This doesn’t looks like a bug to me.
It looks like a handy accommodation to selection in an undersized panel.
If your first pick for the window selection is in the center of the panel, then drag your mouse to the left or right side of the panel, and the view shifts to see that side of the panel. You can essentially “pan” in the undersized panel while window selecting.
Same here, the pointer doesn’t leave the application.
Are you running maximized? I’m not. Do you have multiple Rhinos running? I don’t.
When I get in to the office I’ll try a few things but @Willem, I need you to try to narrow it down too
Oho, I do get the jumping mouse now. At first only with Rhino 6 maximized, but now also with it un-maximized. The jumping happens wherever I have the layer panel docked, even when it is floating. As long as the horizontal scrollbar shows it happens.
I am now not sure if it happens because I had a 7z-manager open at some point or not. I’ll have to let the current regression test run (close to 1000 renders) and restart the machine to see if I can repeat it still then.
I just tested with my laptop’s trackpad: same behaviour.
I’m out of options what to try.
After my online research on the issue, I think it not related to Rhino specifically, but rather an issue with the FCU, where something got broken for this specific case and with code that apparently is not used widely enough to cause more outcry.
At this point, since we can’t repeat it, there’s nothing to fix.
I’m sorry it’s so annoying.
If you or someone else comes up with a way to repeat it, then we can fix it.
I’ve tried on two other systems and so far I can’t repeat it.
