Mouse pointer lock on playhead when dragging

Open retroretrogames opened this issue 1 year ago • 6 comments

Describe the new feature: While dragging the playhead with the mouse, it is quite easy to pull the pointer from the playhead (especially, while watching the video preview).

Describe the solution you'd like: What would be nice is for the pointer to be locked onto the playhead, while the left mouse is held down and then unlocked from the playhead when the mouse button is released.

  1. What version of OpenShot are you running?
  2. What operating system/version are you running?

Hello @retroretrogames. I am running Windows 11 Pro and OpenShot v3.1.1 (DEV Daily Build #11627. I am unable to reproduce this issue.

I recommend you do the following:

  1. Ensure your Windows 10 environment has the latest Microsoft updates and the latest drivers from your manufacturer hardware ( CPU, GPU, etc.).
  2. Install the latest DEV Daily Build of OpenShot following the Clean Installation instructions.

If the issue persists:

  1. Are you able to reproduce this consistently?
  2. Does this happen when you first start OpenShot with a new project (nothing imported)?
  3. Does this happen with one project or other projects also?
  4. What are your computer specs (CPU, GPU, RAM, Hard disk drive type and how much free space you have)?

Hello @Colorjet3 and @retroretrogames I have the save "issue". When i hold my left mouse button to grab and move the Playhead and get out of the Playhead Field the Mouse unlocked from the Playhead and the manual Preview stopped. i can hold the button and go back into the Playhead-Field and the Playhead jumps to this position.

For Precise Working i also want that the Playhead is locked to the Mouse, also if i leave the Playhead Field.

Windos 10 Pro 64 bit (all is up to date 22H2) OpenShot version: 3.1.1

Hello @retroretrogames. This is in the queue for the lead developer to review. He will approve it and move it forward or reject.

IMHO, there are so many other things that need attention (bugs fixes and other more important enhancements) that I think this is going to get very low priority, if approved.
