[Bug]: Pensela Window becomes unclickable

ntolazzi opened this issue 3 years ago · 7 comments

What happened?

When I start Pensela and I choose any tool, I can not leave drawing mode anymore. The whole Pensela window becomes unresponsive as such, that I can draw onto the Pensela window but I cannot switch tools anymore and I cannot click on anything.

This also means I cannot stop the program without killing it via the console.

I use version 1.2.4-1 installed via the AUR in Archlinux.

Btw version 1.2.4 is not choose-able in the issue creator.

What did you expect to happen?

That I can still control Pensela to switch tools and to stop the program

And could you possibly be using multiple displays?

Answer 4 · 2021-12-16T13:32:17.000Z

Yes, that's true. I am using two displays. I just checked it. It works almost as expected when I only use one display and I can control the program. But then, as soon as I start Pensela, all windows vanish and I only see the Pensela window and a black background on which I can draw.

Edit: After a restart, it now works as expected as long as I only have one display connected! Thanks for your help. Is there anything we could do to make it work with two displays connected (as this is my default mode)?

It should ideally work with multiple displays. I probably messed something up while adding support for multiple monitors. While it doesn't take long too find out the cause and patch it, I'm actually thinking about slightly changing how pensela works (Which will solve this and a couple of other issues) which might take slightly longer, but this should be fixed in the next release

Answer 6 · 2021-12-22T10:31:35.000Z

Should be fixed with v1.2.5. Can you confirm if it works?

I can confirm! It works. Thank you for the fast fix.
