Hi there,
This is a long-standing problem - at leats 4 years old. As far as I can
see, pfuGetMouse() can't handle the simultaneous release of more than one
mouse button. In the example (annotated logfile is log.txt), if you press
+ hold down the left button, then additionally press + hold down the right
button, and then release both simultaneously, a release event is never
generated for the left button. Same applies with other button
combinations, and it seems that it is only the button with the lowest mask
(right == 0x1) is released as far as Performer is concerned.
This causes real big problems with lots of direct manipulation interfaces.
It's possible I'm doing something stupid, in which case I'd appreciate
being told(!). On the other hand, there may be a genuine bug and, even tho
the pfu*** code is provided 'as is' I'm sure a lot of people would benefit
from having it fixed.
In the good old days of GL the mouse button pfu*** code worked fine :-(
best
roy
