Thanks for Boobs Job! I setup my mages for some 2v2 action last night and despite my totally sucking nearly won a couple of matches! I'm 0-4 but one was 2% life left on the pally before the fucker bubbled... I need to get my mages gear up some .

Greetings,

I updated to 1.8f and encountered a bug when mousing over one of my alts (upper left quarter of screen 2) : after a few clicks, the mouse would switch to Camera rotation, making the screen spinning around and impossible to click anywhere in that client. Mouse would move out to other clients but stay in Cam rotation for that client.
I had to cold-close the client through Vista bottom tab as the ing menu couldn't be clicked on with mouse.

Closed all 5 clients and KC, relaunched : same bug.

Closed all 5 clients and KC, rebooted PC, relaunched : same bug

Reversed to 1.8e : bug gone

I can't tell what's the cause but it happened with 1.8f and not with 1.8e.

One cosmetic difference I noticed about mouse over : when passing from one client to another, the mouse would do a very quick pause at the border under 1.8e.
With 1.8f, this pause happened about 1cm from border (on a 22" screen) but pause duration seemed the same.

@Taipan

i saw the 'spiral of death' this morning... but was able to pull out of it before splashing down. only happened once and was unable to reproduce. do you have 'pass mouse clicks' enabled? i'm not sure what keyclone could do to get wow into 'camera rotation' mode...

hmm... could it be that you click-n-dragged... but were close to the edge of the window.. and somehow, keyclone thought you left the window before wow grabbed the mouse.. and as you moused around, the mouse click-down was still happening on the other screen. this would be a variation of the run aways... no 'up' event

hmm... i'll look into that shortly

Greetings Keyclone,

So far I'm fine with sticking to the 1.8e version so no urgency to fix the the 1.8f as far as I'm concerned with mouse-overs.

I understand some of your latest customers are switching into "I paid for this and I want it to work NOW or else..." mode.

Screw them and if they're not happy, give them back their USD 20 and let them write their own software for Boxing.

Grrrr to this "I'm entitled to this and that" generation.

whats changed since we went from BOOB's to BOOB JOB? (1.8e to 1.8f?)

[keyclone]

BOOBS allowed you to hit a key and 2 windows would swap.. once per key press.

BOOBS JOB would only pip swap once... it would swap into the current region, the remote region you are asking for. repeated key presses would do nothing. hitting the key for the active region would return the original wow to its original region

[BobGnarly]

Let me make sure I understand.

I hit '3' and the toon in the 3rd region (second of my clones) swaps into the main area. If I continue to hit '3', nothing happens. If I hit '1' now, it reverts to its original layout?

Also, if after I hit '3', I hit '4', does it put 3 back in its original spot and swap 4 and 1 or does it just swap 3 and 4 at that time?

[keyclone]

it definitely twists the noodle...

assume you have 5 screens.. 1,2,3,4, and 5

1 is your main, and the others are in a 2x2 on another monitor.

you are active on 1

you hit 3... 3 and 1 swap ===> main: 3
you hit 3... nothing happens ===> main: 3
you hit 4... 1 and 4 swap, 3 and 4 swap ===> main: 4
you hit 4... nothing happens ===> main: 4

you hit 1... 4 and 1 swap ===> main: 1
you hit 1... nothing happens ===> main: 1
