pop through?? or what????

Post by lav_coyote25 »

when in the choose menu - it is as if the cursor is clicking through to the underlying dos box - is this supposed to happen. note: it doesnt happen all the time... maybe 85 percent of the time it doesnt happen... see the pic. :hmm:

Note to other devs: maybe we should be setting the Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint custom window flag/ hint on the window to remedy this?

It'll stop other windows from showing in front of the window unless it is minimized.
I don't recall warzone opening a console on windows by default(though I may be wrong, my memory is of SDL versions only,) I also don't know what causes it to open (is this something that started after switching to Qt ?).

I did find it peculiar that there was a console with the debug/error output in your video (with SDL versions it didn't even output to the console if I opened it from a command line.)

this time it did it on set structure limits, there are times it will trigger on when i choose set map, some times it will be something else, but always, when i am on this menu... intermittent , there are times when it does not happen at all. is there some way to monitor this??? like how buggy wants to monitor the sound glitch stuff??? :hmm:

anyways - here is a pic.

For me, yes (started with Qt builds). Though, I've never had it poke through the game window (I play in windowed mode, however, and I know Fullscreen has a lot of issues with display settings).
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241

note: once i click anywhere on the screen - it will flash a few times, and then go back to normal. sorry - i forgot to address that... :oops:

usually this only happens once per session. at the beginning :hmm: .

so, as i said - this is inconsistent. i wish i knew how to code or how to error check code... as there is a HUGE FRACKING error somewhere in there....

Buginator cleared up the cause of this for me, just trying to see what the best/easiest way to deal with it is.
