Follow-up Comment #4, bug #14770 (project wesnoth): Some conversation from #wesnoth on freenode from today (27th Dec 2009) where the bug was mentioned (explanation: the language selection dialog is from a rewrite of the GUI, aka GUI2, the normal main menu is the old GUI). Some conclusions from the chat:
1) Depends if the game is displayed in windowed or full screen mode. The bug only exists in windowed mode. 2) It is possible to "generate" a leftclick by holding the right mouse button and the leftclicking. 3) A strange workaround that once ago regarding flash on ubuntu worked does not help (exporting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1) 4) All buttons effected in the same way, makes no difference which one is used. The complete log is available at http://wesnoth.org/irclogs/2009/12/%23wesnoth.2009-12-27.log here is the relevant part (pretty much...): 20091227 09:59:53< freakwent2> I've checked the bug tracker, has anyone seen a condition where you can't do anything, because the main screen won't accept your mouse clicks? 20091227 10:23:50< moraes> freakwent2, version / os may be helpful 20091227 10:32:31< Ivanovic> freakwent2: you are using libsdl-1.2.14 20091227 10:32:40< Ivanovic> downgrade to libsdl 1.2.13 and everything is fine 20091227 10:44:25< Ivanovic> freakwent2: please add as much info as possible in this thread in the bugtracker: https://gna.org/bugs/?14770 20091227 10:45:03< Ivanovic> freakwent2: that is: information like your distribution, if you use 32bit or 64bit, the libs used, which desktopenvironment you use, ... 20091227 11:06:25< boucman> freakwent2: around ? 20091227 11:06:57< Ivanovic> boucman: better just ask and wait, he asked about an hour ago 20091227 11:07:03< Ivanovic> so: just wait for a reply... 20091227 11:07:15< boucman> k 20091227 11:07:35< boucman> freakwent2: ok here is an unlikely workaround for teh cliking bug 20091227 11:07:53< boucman> if it works, it will provide us with a good clue on what's going on 20091227 11:08:03< boucman> try the following command 20091227 11:08:11< boucman> export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 20091227 11:08:19< boucman> before launching wesnoth in the same terminal 20091227 11:08:23< boucman> and tell us if it helps 20091227 11:12:21< mordante> freakwent2, could you also test something for me, whether or not the language selection dialog works properly 20091227 22:16:04< freakwent2> In total, 13 buttons were displayed on the fron tpage, and none responded, so no language selection was possible. I did indeed have that version of libsdl and am downgrading. 20091227 22:20:41< freakwent2> strike that, the we page you mentioned suggestst the use of CTRL-F, which I'm happy with as a workaround for this. Once in full screen, the language selection dialog appears to work perfectly. 20091227 22:21:07< Ivanovic> freakwent2: is it possible to generate a leftclick when holding the right button pressed? 20091227 22:21:11< Ivanovic> (in windowed mode) 20091227 22:21:42< Ivanovic> yes, you are in the lucky situation that you are one case for us who is able to reproduce the issue, which we can't do in a 100% reliable way 20091227 22:23:18< Ivanovic> the question is if, once you are in the lang select dialog in windowed mode, if buttons do work in there 20091227 22:23:37< Ivanovic> since this is a "new" part of the gui result of a larger rewrite 20091227 22:49:26< freakwent2> Ivanovic the right-left click works 20091227 22:49:58< Ivanovic> freakwent2: okay, so get into the language selection menu this way 20091227 22:50:07< Ivanovic> and test if "normal clicking" does work there 20091227 22:50:19< freakwent2> yup, all clicks in there also require the left-right trick 20091227 22:50:31< freakwent2> normal clicking still borked 20091227 22:50:40< freakwent2> strace? gdb? 20091227 22:51:14< Ivanovic> what about the trick with the export boucman posted? 20091227 22:51:24< Ivanovic> does this one help? (yes, *very* unlikely!) 20091227 22:51:26 * boucman is interested too 20091227 22:51:45< freakwent2> nope does nothgin 20091227 22:51:51< Ivanovic> boucman: what do you think, what extra information is needed/possible? 20091227 22:52:05< boucman> Ivanovic: i have absolutely no idea 20091227 22:52:30< boucman> I suggested that because the symptoms (right click to enable left click) was weird an unique enough to try it out 20091227 22:53:25< Ivanovic> freakwent2: i will post our conversation in the bug report, maybe this will help sam (the sdl dev) tracking down the bug 20091227 22:53:59< freakwent2> ok cheers _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?14770> _______________________________________________ Nachricht geschickt von/durch Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-bugs
