Title: A mouse movement outside the display area disturbs MC display
Post by: Alex B on January 28, 2005, 02:04:06 pm

From 11.0.181 thread:

Can you please confirm that this is the normal behaviour even when the mouse is not moving exactly over the track info window but over any place in the display such as the tree, playing now list, etc.? If I'm not wrong, in MC.10 the mouse movement behave that way only when you were hovering the mouse over the trackinfo window, which, by the way,  I think is more logical.

Probably this issue is the same that I reported as the "flickering" effect in this thread:

Thanks for your clarification on that.

When the mouse is hovered anywhere on the Windows desktop (even outside MC) the auto-hide system shows the Control Bar. It is not like that in MC10 and it wasn't like that in MC11 some months ago. It was much better when the Control Bar appeared only if the mouse cursor was hovered inside the display area. It is most disturbing when the audience is watching a slideshow or video on the secondary display (TV, projector, etc) and the PC operator is doing something using the primary display. The other options are not any better for undisturbed viewing.

The bars should only unhide if MC is the active app.

Matt,

The PC operator is a DJ in this situation and uses MC. He/she might also do some tagging or other things with MC when the others are watching the display.

However, it was changed without any apparent reason. I have not seen any announcement about the change. What was wrong with the old system?

We'll see if we can change this.

Behavior is still there in .190

I would like to see the bar simply removed. I do not think many users are changing the display so often it needs to appear automatically. And it is certainly distracting/annoying.

Yes I too would like an option to permanently remove the bars - especially now that right clicking on the display provides a menu with the same functionality!
