willofmaine Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It's really annoying how everything freezes when the cursor is on top of the floating data bar... Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted April 8, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted April 8, 2015 Apologies, what specifically do you mean? I'm able to tab in and out of the FDB without a freeze on both Mac and Windows. Quote Link to comment
willofmaine Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Hi Jim, It's actually a little tricky to get it to happen if you're trying... but of course usually I'm not trying, so it happens frequently! Anyway, the issue isn't the ability to tab into the FDB; that works as expected. The issues is that if the cursor gets on TOP of the FDB, the FDB and whatever's being drawn are temporarily frozen until the cursor is moved off of the FDB. You actually have to move the cursor pretty quickly to get it on top of the FDB (and when working fast, the cursor tends to be moving pretty quickly...). It seems to happen most often with dimensions. I'll try and attach a little video. When I'm moving the cursor back and forth on top of the FDB, everything's frozen 'til I get the cursor off of the FDB. Thanks! -Will Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Whoa! Never had that happen. But I'm built for comfort, not for speed. Those non user elements seem foolproof. Reminds me of the winning MacHax Best Hack 2003. https://tidbits.com/article/7244 (sorry, no video) The MacOS glowing/pulsing progress bar fills normally during progress. Progress bar should dissolve when full at end of process. Instead, an unstoppable, Aqua themed stream of blue “water” spills out the end of the bar and begins to fill the dialog box, complete with sloshing waves. -B Quote Link to comment
Ride Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This happens to me all the time. And it is annoying.... Quote Link to comment
willofmaine Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 This problem seems to persist in VW 2016... VWIS049 Quote Link to comment
willofmaine Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 And in VW 2018, as well, it still seems to persist... Quote Link to comment
willofmaine Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 This seems to persist in VW 2020 SP3, but much more difficult to replicate. The floating data bar now seems wise to the problem and scurries much faster to stay out of the way of the cursor. For all intents & purposes, we'll call it "Resolved!"... ... ...
