Menu blocking screen, not undrawing

Post by redmace » Mon Apr 24, 2006 12:24 pm

Since the patch, the pull down menu stays on the screen. Even now as i type this, the menu is smack dab in the middle of my screen. this has made WinEQ useless for me. Nothing short of shutting Wineq down, and restarting. Thus reloading, will make it go away.

Also, with PiP, the cursur most times refuses to release to the main window, and often while using the main window, locks itself in the dimensions of the PiP windows size. Release command doesnt remove the effect, and once again, the only way to fix it is to shut it down.

What needs done?

Interesting. You can disable the in-game context menu in the WinEQ 2 Preferences, under EverQuest, Hotkeys. Find the "Context Menu" setting, 5th from the top, and change it to say NONE instead of "Shift+RButton". Click OK and that shouldnt interfere anymore.
Also, with PiP, the cursur most times refuses to release to the main window, and often while using the main window, locks itself in the dimensions of the PiP windows size. Release command doesnt remove the effect, and once again, the only way to fix it is to shut it down.
Also Interesting. EQ doesnt use the mouse in exclusive mode anymore, so the cursor should never be restricted to the bounds of a given window. There is no release hotkey for EQ1 anymore.

This actually sounds like you've reverted to a really old EverQuest. Post your sysinfo.txt if you need further assistance

The context menu gets frozen on my screen as well on occation and the only fix is to camp out that session thats making it stuck. I like the menu and use it alot, please look into this bug.

I really need your sysinfo.txt if you need help with this. You can get it by selecting "Get System Info" from the context menu.

The issue you're having shouldn't have been an issue for quite some time now. The problem was solved before by users that had it by updating their video card drivers, so you should make sure those are all up to date
