[SOLVED] On AOS4, RMB stop downloading ....

Hello,

I use a program to download datas. This program is launched from a shell and the data is downloaded fine.

If I use the Right Mouse Button, for example, using one menu on the main workbench bar or, another example, one menu on Ibrowse program, and keep the right mouse button activated, the transfert download stop.

As soon as I deselect the right mouse button, the download restart. If I kept the rmb activated during 10 seconds, no download during 10 seconds.


This is...hum... verry strange.

Please at this improvement on the Bugzilla for the next version on the OS. Thanks....

By default Intuition blocks everything when displaying the menus. If you go into the GUI prefs, in the menu section, set the "non-blocking menus" option.

Ok. work fine now. Just a little annoying problem sometime

Too bad the french GUI program haven't bubble help for all the functions.


hum, maybe this function is by default and I have unchecked it by error (or lack of knowledge about the fucntion).

@Mrodfr

Not only the "french GUI" but the GUI prefs program itself.

Hi,

afaik the default is "blocking menus", so it's not your fault. ;)
Think the blocking menus are default for compatibility reasons.
I remeber, that there was a non blocking mode in MagicMenu, too, but it was said to be "unsafe" and to be used "on your own risk".
Don't know if the non blocking OS version is as "dangerous" though.

BTW, there are more ways do (b)lock you OS/download. E.g. try dragging arround icons on WB...

CU,

@all

the download not stop when using the wb menu (use rmb on a menu and wait).

the download STOP when using the Ibrowse menu (use rmb, on a menu on Ibrowse who use his own public screen, and wait).


For sure, there are other situation where this problem arrive also.

bye.

to be more precise again: Ibrowse on WB screen

- download stop if rmb on Ibrowse window bar and wait.

- download not stop if rmb on Ibrowse window bar and move immediately to choose a menu and wait.
