I can add a little to this. I am a beginner at java and dabble a little in swing. My environment is Mac OS 10.15.7, Netbeans 12.1. I have had problems setting breakpoints in Netbeans debug like everyone else in all releases. I have also found mouse clicks in swing applications I have dabbled in

The phenomenon that I observed on macOS is specific to NetBeans, though it could be all swing apps. (NetBeans is the only Swing UI I’m aware of running.) Clicks in other applications are fine, so it doesn’t appear to be fixable with OS adjustments to the input device sensitivity. Clicks in the g

Thanks Alan, I’ve certainly noticed that creating or removing breakpoints can be very tricky using (same as you) 11.3 and Mac OS Catalina. Regards David Gradwell From: Alan Date: Friday, 1 May 2020 at 07:10 To: "users@netbeans.apache.org" Subject: Re: Mouse quirks It seems ther

I’m so glad someone else is having this problem! I thought it was just me. It drives me nuts trying to create a debug breakpoint as well, sometimes I have to click several times to get it to acknowledge the breakpoint insertion. What I have noticed is that it if you click, pause for about a seco

I think Scott is onto something. I've run 20 or so tests where I experienced this by leaving my external mouse still and using the button on the laptop touchpad to do the clicking, and there were no "missed/ignored" clicks. Same story for a similar problem with opening files via double-click.

That's a definite possibility... I'm a "drive by clicker", notorious for small mouse shifts between down and up. I'll try testing that out. On 2020-04-30 16:11, Scott Palmer wrote: Same on macOS. It seems if the mouse moves a single pixel between mouse down and mouse up then it may not count as

Same on macOS. It seems if the mouse moves a single pixel between mouse down and mouse up then it may not count as a click. Scott > On Apr 30, 2020, at 11:59 AM, Darin Miller wrote: > >  > I also observe the "ultra precise" mouse behavior. Both on win7 and win10 > desktops. > > o__ > >/

Hi Eirik, No display scaling, everything is 100%. It's also monitor-independent. The problem is inconsistent, although it's more prevalent with breakpoints than with the document close. The highlight box is a good indication that the mouse position is getting read right, it's the click event
