Repeatable Mouse Tracking Issue

Post by jebus »

I have documented this issue at this page:
http://2xod.com/ultravnc/multi%20monito ... 20bug.html

I have found a mouse tracking issue when I connect to a multi-monitor computer.

UltraVNC Server v1.0.8.2
UltraVNC Viewer v1.0.8.2

When I am VNC'ing into my computer with 2 monitors I experience mouse tracking issues.

My 2 monitors consist of a 15" laptop screen and a 22" LCD. Since the laptop screen sits lower, I have the screens configured like so:

But when I connect to this computer via UltraVNC, I see this:
and the mouse tracking is all messed up.

Image

If I change the monitors to this configuration everything works as expected:

i know you won't have your main monitor at right side.

That build does not have any mouse tracking problems! EXCELLENT!!

I can have my monitor setup either way from my screenshots:

This is great because it is very annoying to have my monitor's misaligned. Thanks for the great work redge!

The "switch monitor" button behaves a little bit differently, but it still functions.

Image
In the older build the switch monitor / full desktop version worked like this:
[Monitor 1] -> [Monitor 2] -> [Full Desktop (monitor 1 + monitor 2)] -> [Monitor 1]

In the new build it works like this:
[Monitor 1] -> [Full Desktop (monitor 1 + monitor 2)] -> [Monitor 1]

This is not a problem for me, but I wanted to make you aware of it.

Here are some screenshots from my testing:

In the "Old Bad Build" Monitor / Full Desktop Switching is broken:
Image
Press the switch monitor button: Image
I see Monitor 2
Image
Press the switch monitor button: Image
Full Desktop mode is broken & not viable!!

Image

In the "New Good Build" everything works.
Image

Press the switch monitor button: Image
I see full desktop mode and it works great!

Both monitor configurations shown above work perfectly!!
Image
Image

No when I press the switch monitor button: Image
The screen goes back to monitor 1.
