Jumping windows?

[Mackie]

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?

Turing:

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 <= maxx and                 mouseY >= maxy - height and mouseY <= maxy and                 mouseB = 1 then             resize := true             Window.GetPosition (-1, windowX, windowY)         end if         if resize then             windowWidth := mouseX + width div 2             windowHeight := mouseY + height div 2             Window.Set (Window.GetSelect, "graphics:" + intstr (windowWidth) + ";" + intstr (windowHeight) +                 ",position:" + intstr (windowX) + ";" + intstr (windowY))             if mouseB = 0 then                 resize := false             end if         end if     end Run end Resizer View.Set ("offscreenonly,position:center;center") var mouseX, mouseY, mouseB : int var sizor : ^Resizer new sizor sizor -> 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.

[Mackie]

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?

[Nick]

I had the same problem Mackie, but I am running through Linux...

[Sean]

How many applications did you have running at once tho?

[lordroba]

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.

[Mackie]

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)

it's not glitching for me, perhaps its just ur computer?

[Sean]

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

[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.
