That subject is pretty bad, but I don't know how else to describe the issue. :oops:

I have a multi-paned interface with one horizontal splitter, and one vertical splitter. The code for the horizontal splitter looks like this:

-------------------------
    on mouseenter
       if the tool is "browse tool" then
          lock cursor
          set the cursor to 64
       end if

    end mouseenter

    on mouseleave
       if the tool is "browse tool" then
          unlock cursor
       end if

    end mouseleave

    on mousemove
       if the tool is "browse tool" then
          repeat until the mouse is up
if item 2 of the mouseloc > 196 and item 2 of the mouseloc < 584 then set the loc of me to item 1 of the loc of me, item 2 of the mouseloc
                --rect = left, top, right, bottom
                --adjust the stuff above the splitter
set the rect of group "DataGrid 2" to the left of group "DataGrid 2", the top of group "DataGrid 2", the right of group "DataGrid 2", the top of me
                --adjust the stuff below the splitter
set the rect of group "DataGrid 3" to the left of group "DataGrid 3", the bottom of me, the right of group "DataGrid 3", the bottom of group "DataGrid 3"
             end if

          end repeat
       end if

    end mousemove

-------------------------------

This works as expected, and the code for the vertical splitter is the same (with obvious changes for resizing the vertical instead of the horizontal).

The problem is that after doing any resizing -- so the stuff in 'mousemove' has finished, and the cursor has been unlocked (mouseleave) -- the mouse stops behaving:

1. the cursor will not change if I move the mouse into the splitter control (mouseenter) 1.1 clicking anywhere in the card/window 'wakes' the cursor up, and the mouseenter code will then fire when appropriate.

2. the first click is swallowed by...something. I haven't figured out where it goes. It doesn't matter where I click, the click doesn't seem to register. 2.1. I can click on the Edit button, and I am not released from Browse mode until I click the Edit button a second time. 2.2. If I try to click on the code editor hiding behind the active card, it does not come to the front until I click it again.

Interestingly, if I ignore that the cursor hasn't visibly changed, and drag the splitter around, it does move (and the cursor changes when the splitter first starts to move), and then when I release the mouse button the cursor behaves properly so I can immediately put the cursor in the splitter and the cursor changes. Until I do it again, and then I'm back to the behavior above. So it almost works out to 'every other time it's right.' :?

This description isn't much better than the subject, but I'm not sure how else to describe the behavior I'm seeing.
