[BUG] Default profile for selecting of all has glitches in some programs - and an illogical fix for them

[Lores]

XMBC Version: 2.20 Beta 10 / 11
Installed or Portable version: installed
Windows Version: Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 19042.746 x64
Mouse Information (brand/model): Logitech Mouse MX Anywhere 2 Business Travel / Logitech Mouse MX Anywhere 2 For Amazon

Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): no
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): no - as I am unable to upgrade this system of mine due to some Microsoft bug [and I have no time or energy to install it from scratch]
How long have you used XMBC?: just testing for 3 weeks
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?: English US


[I wanted to post this Profile in the Shared Profile section of this forum, as a neat workaround to some system wide dychotomy - but although it works, there is some bug in this. Here what happens:]


As not everything in every windows of every program can be selected by pressing CTRL+A, I came up with alternative solution: https://uploadify.net/14e891c619a39013/ ... _MMB.xmbcp. It uses Button Held for Middle Mouse Button, that executes Simulated Keys

Code: Select all

{CTRL}{HOME}{WAITMS:66}{CTRL}{SHIFT}{END}

after 666 ms. I have not tested it in every program that I use and which happens to not succumb to CTRL+A method [as I do not even remember which window and where was annoying me with this inability] but I have noticed three significant cases:

A] In FreeCommander [free file manger Build 880 32-bit public]: it first navigates on folder up and only then selects content of the active Panel [i.e. of folder with focus shown in it]

B] In Windows Explorer: it just switches focus to the last item

C] On the Desktop: it selects only some of icons, depending where I click, resulting with the weirdest unpredictable and also inconsistent results

[I have also noticed many old and new programs in which this does work correct, for example: LibreWriter 7.4.5.1, Notepad, Notepad2 4.2.25, Notepad3 5.21.1129.1, Microsoft Excel 2010, Sony Sound Forge 7.0, Thunderbird 102.72]


But here comes an illogical fix for this: if I add second Simulated Keys entry for that MMB

Code: Select all

{CTRL}A

with delay set to 1234 ms like - then it suddenly starts to select everything just after those 666 ms. There is no delay before the second step and every of those above glitches no longer occur. And when I deactivate in Button Held that second Simulated Keys then the glitches come back. They also occur [and I can make them go away] when there are other Profiles present, including one that utilize MMB for something else
