StrokeIt
rightclick deathPosted by Glen Murphy
<HTML>Using 9b6, whenever I right click on a file and select 'UltraEdit' (my favourite text editor) UltraEdit takes about 20 seconds to fire up (it's usually instant) and explorer dies in the arse - windows refuse to acknowledge mouseup (ie I can't stop dragging them) alt-tabbing just freaks out, and other windows just freeze until I close stroke-it.
This has only happened since I installed 9b6, I am using a clean (3 day old) install of WinXP, with all the latest patches on a Laptop.</HTML>
<HTML>no :(
I tested this about 30 times with and without, on the same file, after reboots etc, stroke-it on and off. and another thing - right clicking on the stroke-it taskbar icon doesn't change its state anymore. eeep. microsoft's error report server must be chockas from all the process-killing I've had to do }:D</HTML>
<HTML>If you've just updated to UltraEdit 9.0 recently this might have something to do with it. I've used Ultraedit for years and I switched back to 8.2 from 9 because of the delay in launching and the bulk it added without any significant improvement in the app itself.
It certainly didn't take 20 seconds to launch though... just a bit longer than 8.2. If you have upgrade to 9 I would recommend uninstalling and going back to an 8.x version and seeing how things go. I've had no problems with StrokeIt and UltraEdit at all and I use them both all day - literally :P</HTML>
<HTML>> <i>Are you experiencing any of the problems with explorer or windows not acknowledging mouse up?</i>
I experience this every now and again, and when ultraedit is busy going crazy and making everything go nuts, it happens all the time - windows end up getting attached to the mouse until I can alt-tab / ctrl-shift-esc away from them. It all seems to be running much nicer now. Except when I forget to disable strokeit while playing Tribes2 and end up plummetting to my death. *sigh* :)</HTML> |
