Bug 392401 – media-gfx/mypaint-0.9.1 (and 1.0.0) Can't paint after focus change

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Yaroslav Klyuev 2011-11-29 14:29:09 UTC]

After changing focus to any other application mypaint stops working correct: lines are drawn oly when mouse hits window edge.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start mypaint
2. draw something (fine)
3. change window to something else
4. change back to mypaint and try to draw
Actual Results:  
lines are drawn only when mouse hits window edge

Expected Results:  
Lines should be drawn under cursor

Tried using in awesomeWM and in plain startx — same results.

Have already posted to mypaint bugtracker but user with debian and awesomeWM sais that everything works fine.
Tried remerging gtk, cairo, pygtk, pycairo, numpy, python, protobuf, scons, swig

I also use awesomeWM and I don't have (and never had) this problem.
I'm currently running awesome 3.4.10 on ~amd64.

This won't be much help, but at least now you know it works on a different gentoo system.

Does this happen in say GIMP or any other graphics software?

GIMP and Inkscape work just fine

I can reproduce it with metacity and compiz. Not only when focus leaves the application, also when focus is transferred to a popup window like the brush list editor.

I can see this line several times on the console when mypaint is running:
Ignoring "Logitech Gaming Mouse G400" (probably a mouse, but it reports extra axes)

This line is printed in application.py line 374 (in mypaint 1.0.0)
If I remove the "continue" in the following line, the bug is gone.

https://gna.org/bugs/?14029 is mentioned there.
