[issue24893] Idle occasionally gets mouse position wrong for selections
Mark Roseman added the comment: Watched that video clip - yikes, that is bad. I tried playing around to reproduce it, but haven't had any success yet, though did find another weird thing. If you have a bunch of short lines without any blanks, sometimes when you click well to the right of all of them, the cursor will end up at the beginning of one of the lines, rather than at the end of them. This wasn't consistent but did happen maybe 1/10th of the time. Guido was running on a Mac. Were the other examples where you saw this missing by several lines also all on Mac? (Not to say that means it's a Mac only bug, but...) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24893 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ned Deily added the comment: A wild guess: could it be dependent on the screen resolution, in particular if a Mac Retina display is in use? It also could depend on the version of Tk; from the screenshot it is clear that Guido was not using a python.org version of 3.4 so the out-of-date Apple-supplied Tk *might* be in use. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24893 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue24893] Idle occasionally gets mouse position wrong for selections
New submission from Raymond Hettinger: Something has been wrong with the underlying Tkinter for several years. A mouse click to select text will mistarget by several lines. I've held-off reporting this because I couldn't narrow it down to a reproduceable case. That said, I've seen it on fresh installs of Python on multiple machines with different users. But now, we have it on video. It happened to Guido during a keynote. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ef9GudbxXY at about 7:00 to 7:30. -- components: IDLE messages: 248811 nosy: rhettinger priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Idle occasionally gets mouse position wrong for selections type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue24893 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
