Bug 50778 – Cannot rotate 360 deg. around ball in Neverputt with game resolution set > desktop resolution.

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Graeme Donaldson 2004-05-11 11:18:54 UTC]

If I play Neverputt (from games-puzzle/neverball) and I set the game to run at a higher resolution than I have my desktop running at, I cannot rotate 360 degrees around the ball (using left/right mouse movements).  With the game running at the same or a lesser resolution than the desktop, it works fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge \>=games-puzzle/neverball (haven't tested any earlier)
2. Launch Neverputt
3. From the options screen, select a resolution which is higher than your current desktop resolution and start the game.

Actual Results:  
Cannot rotate 360 degrees around the ball using left/right mouse movements.

Expected Results:  
Allow unlimited rotation around the ball.

What version of neverball?  I assume 1.2.5 but you didn't say.

[Comment 2 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-05-11 19:01:34 UTC]

Also, attach ~/.neverputtrc as text/plain please.

[Comment 3 Graeme Donaldson 2004-05-11 23:22:56 UTC]

I first noticed it with 1.2.5 and then downgraded to 1.2.4 (emerge -C neverball && emerge =games-puzzle/neverball-1.2.4), which behaved the same way.

I'll attach ~/.neverballrc tonight when I am at home.

[Comment 4 Graeme Donaldson 2004-05-12 10:36:23 UTC]

Created attachment 31276 [details]
~/.neverballrc

As requested / promised ...

[Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-09-13 01:20:51 UTC]

Talked to upstream.  He knows about it.  Might fix it in the future.  Marking UPSTREAM.  Still happens in the latest release of the code.
