Title: Problem with disappearing of a mouse cursor
Post by: Scorpiorus on Thu 04/09/2003 22:04:21
The original thread by Quintaros is here (http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=8305).
The next demo explains the problem:  test 320x200@hi-color (AGS 2.56.625) (http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/http://geocities.com/scorpiorus82/curs_bug.zip)

Replicating:
- open sierra inventory screen
- look at the pink poster (fade in/out transition is played)
- close inventory window

Now the mouse cursor has disappeared.

It's only with the fade in/out or black box out transitions.

-Cheers

Ah, I see what's happening. It's actually rather dangerous to use NewRoom from within the Sierra inventory window at all, it's best completely avoided.

I'll get it fixed up so that it works properly for the next version.

Thanks for the demo games you post to demonstrate bugs Scorpiorus, it makes things very much easier to find and fix :)

Why is that?

The new room's Enter Screen scripts may not be run properly, and it may not get properly initialized.

As I say though, I'll fix it up for the next version.
