Hmm.

ActiveHand lastEvent “"[(798@340) mouseOver SHIFT nil nil]"

ActiveHand instVarNamed: #lastEventBuffer "#(1 148008281 659 126 0 0 1 1)" “Timestamp is there, second element”

I cannot see that the stamp is ever 0 from a raw event polled, and I guess that will (should) never happen?

Ie; in HandMorph >> generateMouseEvent: line 15 “stamp = 0 ifTrue: [ stamp := Time milisecondClockValue ]” is dead/wrong code?

So I guess that somewhere along the event dispatching/processing (after he event has been moved from the raw buffer into a MorphicEvent subclass object) things are copied/translated without keeping the original timestamp intact.

I found at least two places that causes the timestamp to be lost:

MouseEvent >> asMoueMove (sets a new timestamp using Time)

MouseEvent >> asMouseOver

Yes, that is what I meant by generating mousemove/mouseover events. For example, if you put Transcript show:{ evt type. evt timeStamp . firstClickTime} ;cr. at top of method handleEvent:from: and click (just click no movement) on the title pane of a system window, you'll see a alot of #(#mouseMove 9128631 12518171) Transcript entries The entries look like they are new events, but I think they are just generated from the last real event , but with a new time stamp.

I think there are two bugs here

1) VM clock can differ from Image clock

2) Translating one event from another do not keep the original timestamp

Best regards,

Henrik

Hi,

a call to

Time millisecondClockValue

gives the current milliseconds since the image started. Did this change ?

I have a windows squeak 4.4 VM where it gave the uptime of the system (on windows).

Background:

HandMorph generates some MouseOver and/or MouseMove events, and if the

timeStamp value is not set, it sets it to Time millisecondClockValue, but the "real" events have

a time stamp of "milliseconds since system was booted".

So, now it can happen that you have a real event (mouse click) at timeStamp (msecs since boot up) 3000000

and afterwards a generated mouseOver event with a time stamp since image startup

2000000 (if the image started ~15 min after system boot).

That is, a later event as a lower time stamp. This will disturb the event handling in

HandMorph>>#handleEvent: from:

Somehow, (after having the image running for a long time ? I don't know). The time stamp

for the generated events is allways much bigger than for the system events, and this

will make it impossible to detect double-click events.
