mouse pointer erases combo info

4 replies · 915 views · Started 15 January 2010

If you right click on a combo on your screen and select properties, the pointer erases the info on the small properties window.

I tried this out but don't quite understand what you mean by "pointer erases the info on the small properties". I may be looking in the wrong place here..

it only seems to do it in full screen mode
when you right click on a combo on a screen in ZQuest, if the window open under your mouse pointer then moving the pointer erases the information on the window.

I tried it in window mode to provide you with a screen capture, but it doesn't seem to happen in windowed.

"Mouse droppings", basically. I think the mouse isn't being hidden before the dialog opens. There's usually a hide_mouse() and show_mouse() pair around dialog box opening code, but apparently this one slipped by.
