13.5.2 Problem Selecting Points

Post by drumlug13 »

I'm getting a strange point selection offsetting problem when I'm trying to work on Actions. I couldn't get a good screenshot of point selection because the highlight on the point disappears when I let go of the mouse. But I did notice this same weird offset going on with the curvature tool too. You can see that the Bezier handles are way to the left for some reason. So to move points around with the Transform Points tool, I have to guess where to click, and even then it's real hit and miss.

Point selection seems to work just fine outside the Actions menu

So far I have relaunched Moho, reset my PC (WIN X), and then finally I just uninstalled and re-installed. Still no fix... Any ideas?

Without seeing a file, my only guess is you may be using Windows display scaling. That has causes mouse offset for some, but not isolated to actions.

Yeah, if it's not already set to 100% or 200%, try that. I think the offset problem occurs when Windows is set to one of the 'in-between' values like 150%.

If you don't know where this setting is, r-click the desktop and select Display Settings, and then choose the setting from under Scale and Layout.

If you guys have a minute to check the file out. I found the advanced scaling options in Windows, but it says that if I change it ( doesn't say what it's default it is) it says it may be hard to revert back to original settings. And I never know whether or not to trust a MS Win warning. But if it works on a different computer I can change it here

Yeah that's definitely messed up Adam
Here's the culprit and workaround.

Mute the camera animation ( zoom) channel.
All will be fine.

This should be tested more I guess, it shouldn't happen.

Well, I didn't know at all.
However, it was a question of screen space and cursor position.
So what in the file has any effect on that? The camera, so the answer was there.
I muted it, it fixed it, simples.

I'll report it. 8)
