I read the list and have read your posts and I have used dt extensively for several years and cannot recall more than once or twice having the mouse pointer "wander", but I use a track-ball. Maybe that is the difference. I did suggest you examine your methods and maybe you can minimize or stop the "cursor from leaving control" and stop almost losing data. and I cannot recall nor see that any "blame" has been assigned you, only a suggestion that your methods may be suspect. skin thin? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
