Translate: Cannot manually enter certain values; 2021.07 on macOS 11.3.1 (Intel)

Open rchensix opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

When trying to translate a mesh by manually entering XYZ amounts, there seems to be bounds that I cannot exceed.

To reproduce, open MeshLab 2021.07 (or 2021.05), create a sphere mesh using default radius and subdivision level, then click Transform: Translate, Center, set Origin and try to manually enter 60 for X. It will overwrite the value with 17.3205, which seems to be the max value for the slider. Attempting to set to -60 will cause it to overwrite to -17.3205, which seems to be the min value for the slider. The overwritten values will differ depending on how big the mesh currently is.

Platform: macOS 11.3.1 (Intel) MeshLab version: 2021.07, 2021.05

true.

Actually this is a design quirk that is a leftover. Before introducing the manipulator editing tool this filter was used to have a bit of interactivity when translating. I agree it is better that now it just have unconstrained fields for entering any number...
