11.7 Error when editing Metadata

[famigami]

I opened the edit window of a game and this error popped up when I clicked on Search for Metadata for a game called “The Story So Far Vol. 1” in platform “Commodore Amiga 1000/2000”. I was NOT dragging anything.

I’m having a hard time replicating this. Do you see this every time you are doing this or was it a one time thing? If happening regularly, could you give me precise steps what you are doing so I can try to reproduce it on my end?

[famigami]

It was a one time thing but the error popup suggested that I report it. I assume what happened was that I was trying to highlight the title and the search button was clicked at the same time but I can’t be sure.

[famigami]

I am now able to reproduce this. It has nothing to do with the search button. If you highlight text in the edit window, it appears that there are instances where Launchbox gets confused as to whether the user intends to highlight or drag the text.

Steps:
Highlight text

Hold down mouse button for a couple seconds.

Move mouse while still holding down.

[Christian]

Thanks for the additional information. Will try and recreate and let you know what I find.

[Christian]

Does this happen for all text boxes/controls or is just one? I still cannot get my machine to do this so hard to track down the cause.

[famigami]

It’s bizarre as I’m not currently able to replicate this while yesterday I was able to replicate it 100% of the time.

[Jason Carr]

Have you rebooted since yesterday? I’m guessing that somehow a Windows bug put the system into an invalid state, or something of that nature. I’ll go ahead and close this out for now. Let us know if you see it again and we’ll hop back on it. Thanks famigami.
