19.0.41 - The Mouse Question
« on: September 23, 2013, 08:59:05 am »


I've done a little more testing with regard to my Asus netbook and build 41 mouse issues. I mainly work in the 'panes' screen with panes for 'artist' and 'album'. Something strange has emerged, related to the netbook's mouse system.

The machine has, in addition to physical left and right mouse buttons, the ability to double tap the touch-pad which simulates a left button double click (this functionality being dependent on a driver supplied by Asus). Until today, I have never noticed any distinction between a double click generated by one method or the other.

Double clicking the physical left button, all is well with build 41. Double tapping the pad, however, works correctly when the mouse is pointing at a song title, but not when pointing at an album or artist! The 'double click' instigated by this method is effectively ignored by Media Center. I've tried enough times to be, say, 95% certain about this.

Hopefully, this information will make something click(!) in Matt's mind.

Thanks for the details.

I'm going to try to track down a track pad here that might do the same.  I'll follow up in a few days.

Thanks - FYI, the touch pad is one built into the netbook, as clearly visible in this photo,



just to distinguish it from the various external third party options.

I can reproduce the same thing you're saying on a Logitech K400 (my HTPC keyboard) -- double-click works in lists but not panes.

I'll drag the keyboard to work and hopefully get it fixed soon.

Muchas gracias!

But beware, this might be oddly driver related. I retrograded the Asus touch-pad driver and, for the time being, behaviour seems to have 'come right'

?

Now reporting that, as of build 45, mouse issues appear solved.
