Full Tilt Poker Increase/Decrease Bet Problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When using Blazing Stars on Full Tilt Poker, clicking the hot-keys to 
increase/decrease the bet size

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the mouse to click on the horizontal bar, either on the right side or 
left side in order to increase/decrease the bet size amount by one big blind.
Instead, the mouse seems to be click on the bet amount field (which would allow 
me to type in the bet amount using the number pad on the keyboard).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I just updated to 1.0.6, but I faced the same problem in the last version. I'm 
using OS-X snow leopard.

Please provide any additional information below.
Assuming the player is using the standard "linear bet bar" which allows mouse 
clicks on the left or right end of the horizontal bet bar to decrease or 
increase the bet amount respectfully, and assuming the player is using the 
racetrack theme on Full Tilt Poker, I believe this problem can be fixed by 
changing the screen/window position of the mouse click to click on the proper 
side of the horizontal bet bar.

Thank you for the work you have done with this program, I have been enjoying it!

I just read a post saying that increasing/decreasing the bet amount will never 
happen with this OS. I'm sorry to have posted the above topic given this new 
piece of news to me. 

However, I am curious as to why this feature will not work. If the hot-key that 
allow the user to fold, check/call, or raise can work by using window location 
and mouse clicks, why can't the same be applied to the bet sizing? Given the 
aforementioned assumptions that the player has the "linear bet bar" and the 
racetrack theme, it seems that the software need only click on the left or 
right side of the horizontal bet bar to allow the player to decrease or 
increase, respectfully, the bet size amount.

Thanks for the hard work!

JSutt88,

Thanks for your comments.  In regards to your question, it might be possible to 
implement up and down bet sizing as you suggest but it would require rewriting 
that section of the code specifically for FT, which (given the limited pace of 
development for the program) is not something that I have time for right now.
