[esp-r] Re: problems with mouse

[Florian STIFT]

Hy!



I tried the X11 version of ESP-r yesterday but still the mouse doesn't work
properly.

 

I can select items from the main menu with my keyboard.

I can not select any item from the main menu with my left or right mouse
button but with scrolling down my mouse wheel!

With the mouse pad only the 4way scroll button between the two mouse buttons
works!

It is the same for the image controls! (Just scrolling the wheel works as
clicking  ..)

 

After selecting "open", the mouse works properly (clicking left mouse
button) for the buttons next to the dialogue messages (e.g. "ok", "?", "d")
at the bottom right of the Projectmanager Window. (but still not for any
other items!).

When answered all questions, the problem is the same I described at the
beginning of the mail.

 

The used Linux Distribution is "Mandriva One 2007" with GNOME Desktop.

My Computer is an Acer TravelMate Laptop, Intel Centrino, 512 RAM, ATi ,
Logitech V100 Optical Notebook Mouse, Synaptics Touchpad

 

Hope this helps!

 

Florian

A recent question about using mouse in ESP-r....

 

I did some simulations with the previous windows_native version, but I
installed the new version 11.2 last week on a LINUX environment.

Now I realised that my mouse just works for the buttons next to the dialogue
messages, but not for image controls, main menu a.s.o

Does someone of you have similar experience with the new version and can
help me solving my problem?

Depends on which version (X11 or GTK) you installed. The GTK version does

not have keyboard sensitivity for menu selections like the X11 version does.

This is an 'item in progress'.

 

If you installed the GTK version on Linux you might try the X11 version and

see if the mouse is still giving a problem.

 

This is the first notification of a mouse issue on Linux. It would be
helpful to know, specifically,

in what way does the mouse not work in conjunction with the main menu? Is is
possible on

this machine to select any item on any control menu via any action from the
user?

 

Also, it would be useful to know what Linux distribution and what type of
computer. For

instance ESP-r is not yet stable on 64 bit computers.
