Mouse interaction not working on 64-bit Windows #666

jamiebullock commented 11 years ago

---Migrated from Sifter - Sifter issue 684--- Running the Windows version, I have a problem with the mouse. I can't interact at all with the GUI. I can click on the menu bar (File Edit View etc.), this much works but that's it. The GUI does not respond to any clicks.

Windows 7, 64bit OS.

I suspect this issue is caused by the gui failing to communicate with the backend. The most likely reason is because a the port it tries to use is already in use by a different application. We've reconfigured integra to use more obscure port numbers in subsequent releases. This seems to be a good temporary fix for this type of problem. In the long run, we plan to run libpd in the same process as libintegra, and implement libintegra as an air extension, These changes will eliminate the need to use ports for inter-process communication.
