Talents get dragged off the talent bar if you alt+tab

#1 Post by Patashu »

(Happens on Windows, maybe on Linux too?)

Do this while in windowed mode:

1. Alt-tab to something else, e.g., Notepad.
2. Type something on the other screen. This is an important step!
3. CLICK back into ToME.
4. Mouse down to an item down on the quick bar.

Reliably, what happens to me is that whatever is set on the quick bar will be lifted and stuck to the mouse pointer, as if I were trying to drag it to somewhere else.

Yeah I'm not sure about the steps since I didn't test but I get some things autoclicked off of the bar all the time and it's really annoying.

if you press and hold anywhere, and then mouse over, that also sticks the firest talent, though i am not calling that a bug, since here i was HOLDING the button.

your situation, i would imagine that for some reason, maybe the game believes that the mouse button is being held, when in reality it is not.
From what i remember, deselecting the game window, causes the game to slow down massively, and then try to catch up when you comeback.
If that is still the case, it could be the source of (or related to) the confusion.

tell me, do you mouse over right away, or wait a few seconds?
also, does it still happen, if you click before mousing over?

Tested:

1) Waiting 3 seconds after typing and 3 seconds after focusing ToME4 does not fix the bug, you still drag a talent.
2) If you click an extra time before mousing over the talent bar, the bug does not happen.
