PI 1.7.0 - macosx x86 (64-bit) : preview creation

[pfile]

PI 1.7.0 fully up to date as of 2011-11-10.

if i attempt to create a preview such that the edge being dragged out falls beneath a tool window, PI does not receive the right geometry from the drag operation and the preview ends up wrong. not shown, but similar, is if i try to resize the preview ending under a tool window - the preview then is anchored where the left edge of the preview was, with zero width.

Pfile,

I just can confirm this, i also already had this problem.
As i mentioned already several times, i think the 64bit version is not as "stable" as the 32bit one; OSX...

Hi Rob,

This is another materialization of the main problem with the Cocoa PI Mac OS X version: mouse events not being received correctly by the corresponding controls. The same problem causes most of the cursor drawing problems on image windows; for example, mouse enter and leave events are simply not delivered *sometimes*. This is IMO a Qt bug, which I unfortunately have no time to document properly (it requires writing a test application that reproduces the problem, which doesn't happen in trivial applications). It could be also something I'm doing that doesn't work on Mac OS X, but ... the same *exact* code works without flaws on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and 32-bit (Carbon-based) Mac OS X.

Fixing these problems is a hard and extremely time-consuming task, which I'll face as soon as I can deliver a reasonable amount of new documentation, another version of PI Core to fix known bugs and provide essential PJSR and GUI functionality, and stabilize other important things in our company... so please be (even more) patient.

no problem, i can believe it's a Qt bug. lots of bugs there maybe if benoit still worked at trolltech i could beat him up. then again i have not seen him in many years.

this seems to be fixed in 1.7.4, from cursory attempts to reproduce the bug.
