btstack - issue #39

Mouse: iPad - Cannot click in area next to HOME button on


Posted on May 21, 2010 by Massive Horse

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Enable BTStack Mouse 2. Pair with Magic Mouse 3. Open any app and see that the bottom half of the screen doesn't react to the mouse.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? When using the mouse on the iPad the bottom half of the screen should receive click events. Whats happening is the mouse never receives the event when inside an app. But when viewing your icons on the home screen, the iPad receives all click events on the screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? iPad (iPhone OS 3.2)

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi. I know about this issue, it appears in the area [0,768] x [768,1024] if you hold iPad in Portrait with HOME button at the bottom and [0,0] being the upper left coordinate. We don't know yet, why this happens. The mouse pointer is handled by MouseSupport project of Lance Fetters, source code is here: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-tweaks/source/browse/trunk/MouseSupport/Tweak.xm

I'll try to figure out why this happens.

New MouseSupport version r115 allows BTstack Mouse and Veency to click everywhere in in all apps.

This problem reappeared for me since the last update to svn.r200-1. Neither clicking my BT Mouse works in that exact same area, nor when using a VNC client to remote-control the ipad.
