Bug: About Box in VDubMod 1.4.13 (bugfix)

[Ewi]

Hi!

I have a bug here. If you open "About VirtualDubMod" dialog and you try to move the window it takes over the whole desktop, i.e. you don't have control over the other windows.

Seems that the viewport, i.e. the window and its clipping, is not calculated correctly regarding the size and so the mouse is "caught".

Thank you in advance...

VDubMod 1.4.13.1 (Bugfix)
WinXP SP1

ever used to have a look @ Belgabor's signature ??!!!!!!!!!!!

;)

Perhaps he should not make it that colorful :-) Using browsers you begin to look over things that are colorful, blinking and want your attention in such a visual way (the effect you learn to ignore banners... ;-) )

OK... Thank you...

[Belgabor]

I can't reproduce it here (w2k). I guess its OS related, can someone check this (aka try to reproduce on XP) please?

[Asmodian]

Running XP w/ sp1, and a radion 7500 I cannot reproduce this bug.

[Ewi]

Mmmhhh.... I will try to give some more infos, but if only I have this problem I don't want to bother you...

I made a screenshot of what happens.

I can move the window a few pixel (as far as the selection frame is on the screenshot marked by the array). Then the selection frame remains and I can't click anything. The animation in the window goes on, everything else is locked. I have to hardkill VdubMod to get control back.

System: -German WinXP SP1
-Nvidia Detonator 41.09 (Asus GF2 based)
-DirectX8.1
-AthlonXP 1700+, 256MB Infinion RAM
-Vdub (Original) and VdubMod in different folders; parallel installation
-Avisynth 2.07
-(Something else you find interesting?)

I don't know how this is implemented. Is this some kind of directX,OpenGL,normal GDI? DirectShow config can't have anything to do with it, don't?

I updated to latest bugfix (7.1.2003), but it remains (I did not expect something else, cause there was no change, but I have to test it...)

I can reproduce this bug!

P3 667Mhz, Win2k SP3, Geforce2MX

[Hiro2k]

I can't reproduce the bug running Windows XP SP1 with DX8

[Belgabor]

:( damn, I can't find something common with those who suffer from this bug that could readily be the cause. Need to think about it a bit, is someone proficient with c/c++ programming, suffers from it and could give me an idea why this doesnt work?

Perhaps everyone could check the following:
- It seems like all suffering from it have a nvidia card, so which (in case you didnt mention it yet) driver version do you run?
- Further, anyone without a nvidia card suffering from it?

Mmmhhh... in some way I am happy not being the only one, but...

I have a very similiar hardware setup to Hiro2k:

- Gigabyte Board: not the same but the same vendor
- Athlon XP: I have an 1700+ but thats not the thing
- 256 DDR Kingston: Seems to be the good kingston ram if you mention it here and not the cheap kingston; seems that we both have quality RAM
- Geforce2 Ti: I have one, too
- Western Digital: i have a 60GB one
- Windows XP Pro: me, too...

Very strange...

matrox g550 here, i confirm this window focus problem

[Josip Tosic]

I have the same problem. I can "unlock" the system by pressing [Window] key. Also, if I drag it to the secondary monitor animation freezes completely.

This bug could be related to multi-monitor systems?

I've also had this bug, the strange thing is that sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't :confused:

[Evil Andy]

Hmmm... Under Win 98 VDM's about window just dies on me. It could be a problem with the windows API in which case trying other implementations of the same effect might work he said trying to sound knowledgeable

true, but hey - is it really that annoying calling it a serious bug??

/Edit: XP-SP1

[cjaar]

ctl+alt+del wont allow me to kill the appli :(...

Same bug for me
I'm running win2000 SP2 on a P4 2GHz with 1 GB RAM and a shitty intel video chip.
The only way to go out of this about box is to go back to the debugger with ALT-TAB and killing vdub with shift-F5
The mouse is useless (clicking has no effect at all) and cannot go over the start bar at the bottom of the screen.
trying to kill vdub by CTRL-ALT-DEL /task manager totally freezes win2000 !!!

I don't think an about box is of terrible importance, but surely the bug is :)

[Suiryc]

lol I have this bug too ;)
Alt-Tab unfreeze the desktop and then I can close the About window (without moving it again otherwise I freeze again the desktop ;)).

Using XP (without SP1).

[Belgabor]

Thats really good news! since you two have the bug, perhaps one can find out what goes wrong (I have no ******* idea).

Pluco, this total freeze up you suffer might be from vc6, i have that once in a while too (completely unrelated to the bug).
