Will the scrollwheel bug be resolved in EzKeys?

[loonmoon]

See http://www.toontrack.com/forum/fb.aspx?m=124512 for bug description.

This also effects the zooming of the time line in EZkeys using the mouse scrollwheel.

Zooming using the scrollwheel only works if the EZkeys window is located on the primary monitor.
I mostly put plugin GUIs on the secondary monitor, so yes, this is a no-buy for me until this is fixed.

Hi Loonmoon,

We have tested this and can not reproduce. Please make sure that the plugin window is “in focus” by clicking it before scrolling. Let us know if you still experience this problem.

Tested what you suggested, but no difference.

Actually, the following makes the problem even more obvious:

I place the window halfway into the secondary window.
Half the window is shown on the primary, and the other half on the secondary.
I have clicked the window (input focus).

I hold the cursor over the timeline (where it says “Drag midi song blocks here”).
When on the primary monitor, zooming with the scrollwheel works.
On the secondary monitor, scrollwheel has no effect.

My monitor setup:

1. Primary: 2560 x 1600
2. Secondary: 1920×1200

Same problem scrolling in the groove library.
Works on primary, not on seconday monitor.

(secondary monitor to the left, primary to the right.)

This problem is quite… extraordinary (in lack of a better word)

Two of the programmers that have worked on EZkeys from the start have dual monitor setups. Both on Windows in different configurations. None of them have had this problem.

– Can you try to press shift while using the scroll wheel over the song track – should scroll the time line sideways. Or press the mouse wheel to left or right (if your mouse supports that) – should also scroll the time line.
– Is there anything else, in connection with the mouse, that behaves strangely on the secondary monitor? Or is it only the mouse wheel that don’t work?
– Do you have other plugins that have the same problems (except EZmix)?

Tried to reproduce the behavior on my two monitors in both SONAR X1 and Reaper 4 but mousewheel scroll works as expected.

None of my three 2-monitor setups experience this problem

As posted in the OP EZmix thread, I also don’t have any scroll issues on my 2 monitor studio rig.

It’s working fine here too.

Are your developers aware of that the x-part of the screen coordinates are negative on the secondary monitor, if the secondary is configured to the left of the primary?

When I change the screen configuration to have the secondary to the right of the primary screen the scrollwheel works on both monitors.

Hint: maybe they should check the code that do the hit-detection for mouse wheel events?

The upper config works fine on both monitors.
The lower only works on monitor 1 (the primary).

Same problem with shift + scrollwheel, and wheel right/left (it works on primary, not on secondary)

Its only the mouse wheel.
Everything else with the mouse, clicking and dragging etc, works fine in EZKeys no matter what monitor.

Yes.
I have tried several plugins, from several companies, in different host applications.
All the same: only toontrack plugins have this problem (tried EZMix, SuperiorDrummer, EZKeys)

But guess what: I also tried EZPlayer Pro v1.0.4 and it works fine on both monitors!

Thanks for your help! The bug is found and fixed. Unless something unforeseen happens the fix will be included in the next release.
