Strange mouse issue (left/right pointer movement on button presses)

[mark_k]

This is a bit of a strange one...

Testing on Windows 10 1709 x64. In the Game ports panel, Port 1 is set to Windows Mouse. After booting to Workbench I can move the mouse OK.

On pressing the left button, in addition to the emulated Amiga seeing the button press, the mouse pointer moves slowly/steadily to the left. And on pressing the right button, the button press is recognised but the pointer also moves slowly/steadily to the right.

After changing from Windows Mouse to "Microsoft USB Wheel Mouse Optical" (which is the USB mouse I have connected), there's no bogus mouse movement when the buttons are pressed.

Maybe I screwed up something in the config to cause this problem? Config and log on booting:

I think this was reported previously, for some reason Windows sends weird mouse move events when button is pressed if mouse emulation is using windows messages (not rawinput). I can't duplicate it.

I added new log option (-winmouselog), which logs mouse related Windows messages (only if message is going to affect Amiga state, for example right click = untrap is not logged). Check if unexpected WM_MOUSEMOVE messages are logged.

Just tested with -winmouselog. It didn't really give any useful info. Extract below. The WM_MOUSEMOVE lines correspond to my actually moving the mouse. With the mouse stationary, pressing then releasing the left button just prints WM_LBUTTONDOWN then WM_LBUTTONUP, even though the on-screen pointer moves to the left while the button is pressed. Similarly for the right button.

WM_MOUSEMOVE MON=0 NUM=0 ACT=1 FOCUS=1 CLIP=1 CAP=0 FS=0 1709x1041 404x38
WM_MOUSEMOVE MON=0 NUM=0 ACT=1 FOCUS=1 CLIP=1 CAP=0 FS=0 1709x1043 404x39
WM_MOUSEMOVE MON=0 NUM=0 ACT=1 FOCUS=1 CLIP=1 CAP=0 FS=0 1709x1044 404x41
WM_LBUTTONDOWN
WM_LBUTTONUP
WM_RBUTTONDOWN
WM_RBUTTONUP
WM_LBUTTONDOWN
WM_LBUTTONUP
WM_RBUTTONDOWN
WM_RBUTTONUP

Edit to add: Not sure if this helps, but...

Press & hold LMB. Mouse pointer moves steadily left. Press & hold RMB (so both buttons are pressed). Now pointer moves steadily right. Release LMB (so only RMB is still pressed). Mouse pointer stops.

Also, while the bogus pointer movement is happening, if I move the mouse (so WM_MOUSEMOVE is shown in log), the bogus movement stops.

Also, sometimes pressing & holding LMB/RMB causes the pointer to jump/move slightly left or right and stop. If I then release and press that button again, the pointer moves steadily.

Hmm.. Include also -inputlog 2 -inputdevicelog 1.

With -winmouselog -inputlog 2 -inputdevicelog 1, here's the last actual mouse movement, then hold LMB (bogus pointer movement left), release, hold RMB (bogus pointer movement right), release.

Your config has these lines:

input.1.mouse.1.axis.0=MOUSE1_HORIZ.0
input.1.mouse.1.axis.1=MOUSE1_VERT.0
input.1.mouse.1.button.0=MOUSE1_LEFT.0
input.1.mouse.1.button.1=MOUSE1_RIGHT.0

MOUSE1_LEFT is left movement, not left button.

Thanks! I wonder how long those have been in the config. (I recently tested another mouse, so changed from MS USB Wheel Mouse Optical then.)

I can see anywhere in the GUI that shows the incorrect mappings.

[Toni Wilen]

You should see it in Input panel (config #1) -> select matching mouse. Mouse Left and Right should be mapped to left and right buttons.

[mark_k]

Aha, found it. It was under "Microsoft USB Wheel Mouse Optical" not "Windows Mouse", even though with "Microsoft USB Wheel Mouse Optical" selected in game ports panel, I didn't have the problem.

[Toni Wilen]

If "game ports panel" is not selected in input panel: Active config = selected Input panel config merged with Game Ports panel settings.
