#4916 closed defect (fixed)

Cursor Leaves Trail in GUI when Screen is Shaking

Description

Mac OS X 10.6.4, gcc 4.2.1, r50656

Found this one and took a while to reproduce...

I attached a saved game for Day of the Tentacle (English/CD) in the foyer with the music playing. Pause the game (with the screen offset vertically) and then move the cursor around to see the cursor leave a trail.

Attached a screenshot too (the scaler is Normal2x, but I don't think that's relevant here)

I think this is because the cursor, in overlay mode, is drawn without taking shake position into account (see comment in OSystem_SDL::drawMouse()) while internUpdateScreen() always takes shake position into account.

I'm not sure what's the proper fix here. If internUpdateScreen() is changed to not use the shake position when the overlay is visible, you presumably can't pause the game in mid-shake. Not without adjusting clearOverlay() at least.

Proposed Fix For Bug

comment:3 by digitall, 14 years ago

Have attached a fix for this bug, but this will need review as I'm not a SDL backend expert.

comment:4 by eriktorbjorn, 14 years ago

That might work, but it seems a bit backwards to me. Right now, the mouse cursor isn't affected by the shake position, but the rest of the overlay is - you can see that if you manage to open the debug console in mid-shake - and that doesn't feel right to me. But I'm no SDL backend expert either.

Also, it would have to check if the overlay is visible, because otherwise it causes the normal game cursor to leave a trail. Not as noticeably as the GUI cursor, because the screen is completely redrawn every time the shake position changes, but you can still see it.

Oops, I made the wrong change when I tried it. I don't get any trailing with the normal cursor after all.

comment:6 by eriktorbjorn, 14 years ago

On third thought, it doesn't seem right to have the shake position affect the height of the dirty rect.

Fixed in SVN. Actually the proposed patch was not everything what is needed. I also redraw top black square added by the backend.
