Selecting messed up when mouse released after cursor has left the app window boundaries

Issue #375 on hold
Robert Leach created an issue

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Quickly drag-select an edge/corner region with the cursor going off the window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE (OR TRIGGER A NEW FEATURE)

  1. Open the large_6kx6k.txt test file
  2. Select the bottom-left corner of data and release the mouse after it has dragged off the app window.
  3. Hover back over the matrix

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

The matrix selection is not always made and the labels are stuck in a mid-selection state such that hovered labels from the bottom up and left to right to the cursor are all yellow:

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

A matrix selection is made and the label selecting state is false.

COMMENTS

This might only be an issue on a slower machine when large datasets are used.

The issue is worked around by deselecting everything.

    Not reproducible in my system.

    System configuration: i7 processor with 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD.

    I Followed the same steps mentioned by Rob. I was able to make the selection, even the last row and column of the matrix was selected

    I was unable to reproduce on my iMac as well. I'll have to retry on the computer this happened with. There might be another requirement to make it happen that I am missing in the steps to reproduce...

    Until a more reproducible description of the problem can be created, this issue will be on hold.
