Can't drag to top of screen. #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Pixus
2. Drag as high as it'll go

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to drag it to the top of the screen.  It gets stuck and
won't go above a certain point, looks like around 100 pixels from the top.

If you turn on the dim/shadow mode, it goes all the way to the top.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

OSX 10.5

Also, just noticed, the IE skin can go closer to the top than the others, but 
not all
the way.

I noticed it, too. 

In Overlay Mode, I maximize the invisible window. So you are actually dragging 
the MovieClip of Pixus ruler. 
But in Normal Mode, I restored the window and you are dragging the window it 
self while the MovieClip 
remain unmoved inside the window. I did it to optimize performance in Normal 
Mode. You might notice 
significant frame skipping in Overlay Mode, too. I did feel it in 1920x1200. It 
did take a lot time for me to 
synchronize coordinate between two modes and now it brings more troubles:P

At first, I thought it was a natural limitation of OS X because OS X 
application windows can't be moved over 
the top menu bar, either. But later I found exceptions. I just don't remember 
which app it is. If anyone found 
on, please kindly tell me. There are 2 possible solutions

1) Find the way, probably a little attribute, to ignore the limitation.
2) If I failed, I will make the transparent window maximized even in Normal 
Mode. It will simplify the logic and definitely solve the problem but decrease 
the performance.

Lemme do some study first. Thx!

Window dragging abandoned. Now I use only the maximized transparent window with 
MovieClip being dragged within. Problem fixed.
