Post by pineslee »

:D thanks for developing such amazing software.

By now there is a problem troubles me. I'm looking for helping!!

1. We are using LXDE, OpenBOX under embedded hardware, which running debian 10.
2. touchscreen is only UI input method.
3. Using program like NetworkManager nm-applet, bluetooth applet。
they both have menu will trigger this bug.
note: notepad also do. program pcmanFM's menu dont' have this issue.

- Touch applets in "tray-zone" to active their menu
- Touch somewhere on desktop or taskbar except menu. menu will closed
- Then [Start menu], and Desktiop ICON stop response touch click event. ( you may moving mouse pointer to there, but click not working )
- This can be reproduce 100%
- The window program opened already can respone touch click event correctly, also mini ICON in quick-start bar like chorme, PCmanFM can been active by touch click.
- Tt will last until you moving some window, moving by what i mean is keep finger touch the title of a window program then moving a little bit to diffrence x,y position.

thanks for reading, its a bit long, any help i can get, or in any mean i can made a workaround for this.
any detail didn't describe well pls let me know.

Ensure that both your operating system and the applet menu software are up to date. Sometimes, bugs and compatibility issues are fixed in software updates. Immaculate Grid

this issue can be reproduced while switch to xfce4 and xfwm4 (another lightweightx trench run desktop)
which imply it's independant to window manager or desktop.
through xinput test-xi2 --root print output, touch begin/end event is correct while touch click bug happen.
Using program like NetworkManager nm-applet, bluetooth applet both have menu will trigger bug.
menu from APPs like Mousepad and Galculator also does. pcmanFM's menu(a filemanager of LXDE) doesn't have this issue.
they have difference style of menu while could been tell by look.

Sometimes setting the correct touch properties, such as Evdev Click Emulation, can help with subway surfers handling clicks more effectively.
xinput set-prop "Your Touchscreen Device Name" "Evdev Click Emulation" 1

It seems you're encountering a touchscreen interaction issue with LXDE/OpenBox under Debian 10, particularly with menus in applets like NetworkManager and Bluetooth. To resolve this, ensure that your touchscreen is properly calibrated and all software is up to date. You could also experiment with alternative applets or modify touch event handling configurations in LXDE or OpenBox. If the issue persists, consider searching for bug reports or reaching out to relevant communities for further assistance. https://schoolboyrunawaygame.com
