@Kolbe-49th:
Hi Rev.
I hardly think this is the case here.
First: Of course I tested this and the only “function” which doesn’t work is the the mouse-wheel.
All other interaction with the UI work just fine.
Second: Other devs with the same issue have other triggers, which (unfortunately) are not known to date.
i get what you are saying but the mousewheel is not the only function that is “mouse-over” i haven’t tested this ofcourse but if mouse-over actions like hovering the mouse over a button and/or using the scroll wheel does not work at first then the main bms window is not the main focus window.
for example and i’ll test this tonight, if i move my mouse over the buttons in the main UI window a sound plays, if the sounds do not play and mousewheel is unresponsive in say the comms tab(phonebook) then that would i think indicate that the main falcon window is not the main focus.
i know this does not explain how it gets triggered but it could help in narrow down a possible fix.
a few things changed in how bms loads, like the “ïs falcon 4.0 installed bit.” which is universal for all people. and maybe by throwing another variable like the old school mfd extraction method we are using we are opening 3 windows instead of just 1 in windowed mode, and depending on how fast bms loads/starts up this may cause the main window to not be the main active focus window. (because 1 window may load faster than another window for example)
my falcon4.0 installation is located on a slow mass storage 4tb drive that i use purely for data storage and backups, this means this drive is usually spun down (starting falcon takes ages for me as a result) but i can live with that as i dont want it taking up prime real estate on my fast program installation drive.
i have this issue now nearly 100 percent of the time though, so if you have any suggestions that you’d like me to try to help narrow it down i could do them.
will place in an edit my results when i’ve tested what i wrote above.
edit:
hmm sounds play on mouse over, could still be a focus window thing, but it’s more unlikely now in my mind at least.
so i concur with your 1st point.
and i wish we did have a list of their triggers as well.
ahwell. using the method mentioned earlier i can get the scroll wheel to function so it’s no big deal now, but could be annoying if you end up in the 3d and you can’t zoom using the scrollwheel (i dont use the look closer button) so i don’t think this will get any priority from them soon.
