Let's get chrome to fix the Keyboard/Mouse bug!

sqiddster, the situation in r79.4 is:

• games in iframes still have the sticky key bug, because the workaround breaks keyboard input
• games not in iframes have the workaround applied so should not be affected.

This is as good as I can get it. Hopefully Chrome 18 will be out soon and will solve this for the iframe case too.

— OK. So there's no chance for a workaround for iframe, at all, until Chrome 18 is out, which could take up to two months.

:(

You could try installing the Chrome 18 beta and see if that helps.

Yes, I suppose I could. Unfortunately I can't expect all my players to use it as well.

Oh well, there's nothing more we can really do, except put pressure on chrome to release it as an update to 17 (not even sure if that's possible :/ )

Not possible. :P

Make that 30 people! :)

Umm, StephenC, it is my belief that Chrome 18 fixed the bug in iframes as well... Am I not correct?

Oh, hmm, well when I went onto your example, I was experiencing glitches and random stopping in the little box... I'm not sure. Maybe I have a weird Pc or something?

My Chrome is up to date, I just tested the game from the first post and managed to replicate the bug on the keyboard and mouse clicks.

JohnnySix - I can no longer reproduce this in Chrome 18. I haven't seen it for ages. I thought it was fixed, are you sure about that?

I can confirm it still happens on preview, though I couldn't get it to happen after export. Even on preview though, it's less pronounced than it was, but it's still there, though getting it to happen is different.

The exported version above shows it not happening. Open the .capx, preview, click and drag from the layout area up to chrome's address bar, then let go. The black background should now be blue. Press and hold a direction arrow. Without letting go of it, perform the same action with the mouse, clicking the layout and dragging it to the address bar, and before letting go of the mouse, let go of the direction arrow. The square will keep moving.

I got it to happen once without 'selecting' the page first, but I don't know how.

Ashley fixed this selection of the background to make the bug (won't work in preview), the question is whether it is still a problem in an iframe...

Clicking to move the square in your game isn't even working for me, Chrome or Firefox.

Keyboard is fine, though...

Thanks for posting,

But this is a common methods!

I've seen similar games that had the same problem with the cursor so it's a bug in Chrome browser
