I haven't tried it yet with a game like Duke Nukem 3-D yet, but I will make sure I check that out.</p> <p>BJ</p> tag:boxerapp.com,2010-05-01:/blog/id/44//comment_5589 2010-05-01T21:46:31+03:00 2010-05-01T21:46:31+03:00 chipmck <p>This major improvement! But??? UnLock toggle appears to be Click outside of Boxer/DOSBox window, else the Cursor tries to follow the Cursor.</p> tag:boxerapp.com,2010-05-01:/blog/id/44//comment_5590 2010-05-01T22:11:26+03:00 2010-05-01T22:11:26+03:00 Alun Bestor http://washboardabs.net/ <p>Chip, I'm afraid I didn't understand a thing you just wrote. Could you run that by me again?</p> tag:boxerapp.com,2010-05-02:/blog/id/44//comment_5591 2010-05-02T06:28:48+03:00 2010-05-02T06:28:48+03:00 chipmck <p>When you run the cursor out of the window, there are two cursors - one inside of Boxer and one outside. The cursor in the Boxer windows tries to track the 'outside' one, until there is a click on the outside - this breaks the connect between the two. Oh, the cursor was never locked inside the Boxer window, but functioned properly inside the Boxer window.</p> tag:boxerapp.com,2010-05-02:/blog/id/44//comment_5592 2010-05-02T09:43:13+03:00 2010-05-02T09:42:25+03:00 Alun Bestor http://washboardabs.net/ <p>Right, that's been Boxer's (and DOSBox's) behaviour from the start: when the mouse is unlocked, the OS X cursor is free to roam wherever it may and the DOS cursor will follow it, even after it leaves the window. When the mouse is locked, the mouse can't leave the window at all, and that is all that is meant by locking.</p> <p>If the DOS cursor didn't continue to follow the mouse outside the window, then there would be a distracting jump as soon as the mouse re-entered the window. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but neither is there a real benefit in leaving the DOS cursor exactly at the point where the mouse left the window. There's more discussion of the implications of the current approach <a href="http://bitbucket.org/alunbestor/boxer/issue/25/erratic-mouse-behavior-when-not-in-focus">in the issue ticket</a> however.</p> tag:boxerapp.com,2010-05-03:/blog/id/44//comment_5593 2010-05-03T03:29:28+03:00 2010-05-03T03:29:28+03:00 Calpchen <p>Great work! And I applaud your pruning of features to focus on a quality release. Keep it up!</p>
