BUG REPORT: "Desktop Box"

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Contributed by: plaintiger Tuesday, September 21 2004 @ 09:31 PM PDT

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months


when i activate the "Desktop Box" setting in Xupport 2.2.1 and hit F11, the area covered by the Desktop Box becomes dead; it is rendered unusable until the next time i log out and log back in.

if, for example, when i press F11, the Desktop Box covers any icons on my desktop, those icons - or any parts of them covered by the Desktop Box - then cease to respond to mouse clicks; i can neither select them nor open them by double-clicking until after i log out and log back in. if the Desktop Box covers any part of a DragThing (5.3.1) dock, the area covered by the Desktop Box likewise becomes dead and no items in it can be clicked until after i log out and back in...etc.

this effect extends only to the area covered by the Desktop Box; if, for example, the D.B. covers the top half of an icon on my desktop but not the bottom half, only the top half will be dead thereafter; the bottom half will remain clickable as ever.

thanks...

BUG REPORT: "Desktop Box" - pozy

The Desktop Box feature is actually a hidden feature of Exposé—the bugs that you noticed are not the fault of Xupport, but rather the bugs of Exposé's hidden feature itself (probably the reason why it wasn't enabled in the first place). I'm not the developer or a friend, I just thought I'd clear that up.
