Ardesia not returning mouse functions #57

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Once I start the program
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected to be able to select what I want from the menu and anytime I roll 
over the menu to have the mouse pointer back to choose another option

Instead, the minute the program starts I immediately have a pen already chosen 
and it draws on the desktop but I can't choose anything on the menu when I roll 
over the menu. I am also unable to quit the program and have had to log out 
instead using the keyboard ctl+alt+del

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 12.04 - Precise Pangolin 
ardesia_1.1-1_i386.deb

Please provide any additional information below.

Please add info about the desktop environment and window manager also.
Remember that only the 1.1 is compliant with gnome, mate and similars!

Are you talking about the Ardesia menu or the desktop environment menu alias 
panel.
If you are talking about the panel it is normal; in order to access to the 
desktop with mouse you must press the mouse tool on the Ardesia toolbar.

I have the same problem. Even when I managed to use Alt+Tab to return focus to 
another application and was able to access the Ardesia Info popup from the 
menu, I could not close that. I had to force shutdown of  my computer and 
restart it. 

Removal seems to be the only option.

I have the same problem on the same dist Ubuntu 12.04. It unfortunately did 
never worked as expected. On image attached you can see that the drawing tool 
is selected always and I am not able to click on any icon of ardesia righ 
toolbar. If I press alt I am able to hover over icon and see its change in 
focus but the icons does not work, when I click it simply starts drawing.

I found a way to stop ardesia when I start it from console window I can get 
focus back to terminal and by pressing crtl+c I force to stop it.

The reason for the troubles might be the unity or unity-2d I am using but I 
have to switch to confirm that.

I really want to have it working. I loved the screen cast with shape detection.

Please help us.

I have made another check and it worked on Ubuntu 12.04, I tried xfce as WM but 
it lack support for "composite" then I switched back to Unity (3D) and it 
suddenly started to work.

I just have to dig more into what actually might be the problem. And retest it 
on the other installation of Ubuntu 12.04.

Please be sure that you are using Ardesia 1.1. Ardesia 1.1 on Ubuntu with Gnome 
and Unity.

@rpichie Could be that exists a bug that restack the windows badly when is done 
the ALT TAB shortcut. Anyway Ardesia is done to stay above all windows, if you 
want change the focus you might press the mouse Ardesia tool and select the 
desired application.

@petr1moravek The xfce WM does not lack the composite manager functions. In 
order to use Ardesia with xfce you must enable the Xfwm Compositor.

Update: 

For the record am using ubuntu 12.04 with gnome 3 desktop. I tried it on unity 
as a guest session and it worked. So the issue is the gnome desktop. I would 
have thought that was supported b

Ubuntu 12.10. Unity.

Just upgraded from Ardesia 1.0 (ubuntu package) to Ardesia 1.1 downloaded from 
ardesia website (64 bit, deb package).

It worked for a few minutes. Then, I clicked in something (don't remember 
exactly what) and now I cannot click in Ardesia taskbar again. Not even killing 
the program and restarting it. I mean: when Ardesia is started I can click the 
taskbar. Once I begin drawing with any tool, I cannot click Ardesia taskbar 
again. Have to kill the program from Unity task bar.

Please fix this bug, Ardesia is so cool.

Otherwise I'll revert to version 1.0 distributed with Ubuntu.

OK, I found the issue.  It works until I go over half the toolbar width, at 
which point it tries to extend the toolbar, which freezes it completely.  My 
only option is then to kill it (I'm lucky ctrl-q works) and relaunch it.  Also, 
are there any keyboard shortcuts, as I'd like to toggle between mouse mode and 
pen mode quickly live.  Thanks!

Ubuntu 12.10. Unity

Had the same problem discussed above. But discovered the solution, at least for 
now for me. I set the unity launcher to auto hide, which now allows me to click 
to different colors, for instance -- but not the dot for line thickness. Here, 
would need to set 1st if not desire the default setting.

It worked for me in Ubuntu 13.04.

In Ubuntu 14.04 this is a issue as stated above. Seems like the drawing layer 
lies on top of the menu. The only thing that is above the layer is the Unity 
menu on the left. I also noticed that if you right click on the Ardesia icon on 
the Unity menu and click on 'ardesia', then the Ardesia menu will go on top of 
the layer and you can click on the drawing menu.

This is a problem that should be fixed. The drawing menu should always be 
available.

The "transparent" window/canvas places over the toolbar. It is possible to drag 
it by presing "ALT", as when moving other windows. If dragged to the left, the 
toolbar can be clicked again.

Thanks, Marco. That worked for me. If the developers can modify the application 
to install the modified configuration file by default, that would fix the bug.
