Jumping windows?

-----------------------------------

I'm working on a window resizor, it's still pretty young, and it's not in it's final position or style, I figured I'd get the technique down first though. So, I've got a small glitch left, which seems to be pretty random, when my window is at certain positions on the screen it will jump around the screen to a completely insane, uncalled for location. Anyone know why this is happening?

class Resizer

    import Window
    export Initialize, Run

    var windowHeight, windowWidth : int2
    var windowX, windowY : int
    var width, height : nat1
    var resize : boolean := false

    procedure Initialize (width_, height_ : nat1)
        width := width_
        height := height_
        windowHeight := maxy
        windowWidth := maxx
    end Initialize

    procedure Run (mouseX, mouseY, mouseB : int2)

        Draw.FillBox (maxx - width, maxy - height, maxx, maxy, white)
        Draw.FillBox (maxx - width, maxy - height, maxx - (width div 5), maxy - (height div 5), black)
        Draw.FillBox (maxx - width, maxy - height, maxx - (width div 3), maxy - (height div 3), white)
        Draw.Box (maxx - width, maxy - height, maxx, maxy, black)

        if mouseX >= maxx - width and mouseX = maxy - height and mouseY  Initialize (20, 20)


loop
    Mouse.Where (mouseX, mouseY, mouseB)
    sizor -> Run (mouseX, mouseY, mouseB)

    View.Update
    Time.Delay (3)
    Draw.Cls
end loop


Ignore any useless code, just messing around.

This is rather neat, but I do not see the problem, nor could I re-create what you described.

I hear that form a lot of people as well.... I have a higher screen resolution than most people which could be a factor.

1680 * 1080

Could anyone else confirm this?

Also, try putting a corner off screen to see what happens.

No problem here Mackie, might be just you?

I know why it's happening, at least on my computer.  I have my taskbar set on the left side of the screen instead of on the buttom.  When I put it on the bottom though, the glitch is gone.  I had the same problem with a window shaking program that I got off of here.  I'm not sure why it does what it does, but if anyone can figure out how to fix the problem, i'd like to know.

I'm currently running debugging stuff, I'll figure it out, It's my mission.... I have a lead.... Sort of? >.< if Anyone has an idea, even a stupid one, please speak up. If I figure it out now, someone else won't have to go through it in the future.

(Also working on reducing flashing)

Glitched for me this time. Seems that when you drag it bounces everywhere. Any leads to as why yet Mackie?

I think that it may be due to that fact that Turing wasn't build for larger resolutions, it seems to bounce with in a box, if you spend enough time looking at it, you'll sse it has a pattern. It's moving to a point where it thinks the edge of the screen is. Just a thought.

I know Delos did a Turing window shake module that was quite good a few years ago.  You could try looking that up for reference / inspiration.
