Toggle x-Axis / y-Axis lock doesn't work

Post by RDGreen »

I've tried everything:
  • defined global hotkeys (yes, and closed the setup window)
  • defined modifier hotkeys (yes, and enabled the locking feature per layer)
  • you name it ...
The mouse movement just ignores these settings, no matter which application.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Best,
Russell

Have you ticked the box "Enable axis locking" on the scrolling and navigation tab?

yes, I did (my second bullet wasn't quite right: I meant the scrolling & navigation tab, not per layer)

well thats odd then because its working here (latest beta).....
Anything useful in the log? You may need to enable debug logging first to get a lot of detail....

can I debug this using XMBC? Could there be some conflict with other programs? Should I disable something or run in some SAFE mode? I'm a bit in dispair since I'd really appreciate this functionality to work for me... :(

As I said, the first thing to do is turn on debug logging at least that way I can see if XMBC thinks its locking the axis or not.... then with that infomation we can think about what the cause might actually be!

Hummm well it was working on my laptop but its not working properly on my desktop... it looks like its trying and failing... somewhere to look :)

EDIT: On no, it is working here too (helps if I don't hold down the global hotkeys lol)!

I thought I'd try out this functionality again to see if in the meantime anything changed.
Well: yes and no:
  • Yes: the hotkeys seem to trigger something, i.e. the mouse icon changes to either a mouse with a vertical up&down or a horizontal left&right arrow --- but
  • No: after activating locking, the mouse doesn't move a single pixel :?
Any ideas?
Best,
Russell

That's odd - if its showing the little cursor change (with the red arrow up/down or left/right) then XMBC itself thinks it has locked the axis. If the cursor does not move (assuming you haven't locked both X and Y at the same time) - I dont understand.

Just tried it here again and it seems to work fine.

Can you turn in debug logging (advanced settings) then do the axis lock, move the mouse around a bit and then send me the log file (via PM or paste it in here)?

Here are the steps performed:
  • defined x-axis locking using the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+x hotkey combination defined under "Toggle X Axis Lock"
  • enabled x-axis locking modifier keys in the default profile
  • saved settings and exited all X-Mouse dialog screens
  • switched to Windows desktop
  • at 20.10.2015 09:34:00 pressed hotkey combination; the cursor changed to an up&down arrow
  • move the mouse up and down, left and right, up and down, left and right: nothing happened (mouse movement frozen)
  • pressed hotkey combination; the cursor icon and movement changed backup to normal
  • terminated session
The log file is quite large, so I'll send it to you somehow...
Thanks,
Russell

What DPI is your mouse - the numbers in the log file are very large/small and that might be confusing things. I will have to take a look at the code which I might be able to do when I get home from work - if Im awake!

I'm using a Rapoo 15G 7100P that has a button allowing you to switch between scrolling 500 and 1,000 dots-per-inch (DPI) settings. For the log file it was running 1,000 dpi.
