Weird close button hover animation

Hi all,

I just downloaded the latest trunk build (Squeak5.3alpha-18491-64bit, see [1]) and noticed this weird hover animation:

It seems that only the close buttons (in all system windows) are effected and I have no idea why and since when. Other buttons behave as usual.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be and how to fix it?

Yes, I'm using macOS. Forgot to mention that. Everything seems to work fine on Linux.

A quick binary search through old trunk bundles from [1] suggests that the problem was introduced in January. Hope I have some time to look into this in more detail soon.

Hi Fabio,

I have noticed this too. Thanks for bringing it up.

I've done some research this morning and found that the problem seems to be brought on by Morphic-mt.1474. It does not matter if one loads the follow-up update, Morphic-mt-1475, nor the companion update, System-mt.1051.

Name: Morphic-mt.1474

Author: mt

Time: 9 January 2019, 9:00:34.991737 am

UUID: 14bd0540-84ba-480a-9878-754c07a26db5

Ancestors: Morphic-tpr.1473

Clean-up and bug fixes in resize grips. See http://forum.world.st/Please-Review-Some-updates-for-resize-grips-td5092584.html

Note that for testing this, a new system window needs to be created: loading this update will not effect already-existing windows. (Though it might be my imagination, it /seems/ as if already-existing windows change their SystemWindowButton a /bit/ slower after loading this update...?)

I wonder why it effects Mac OS but not Linux.

Best,

Tim

PS – what did you use to create that animated GIF screenshot? That was pretty nice, and showed up clearly in an email message.

Thanks for looking into this. I should talk to Marcel (mt) next week :)

Good question!

I'm using LICEcap [1] for creating these kind of GIFs. :)

Re: Weird close button hover animation

If its related to resize grips, hopefully a fix will also fix that the
top side of windows can no longer be used for resizing. It got broke
some time ago.

I can confirm: after disabling the "Resize Windows along edges" preference, newly opened windows don't show the problem anymore.

I assume you meant to say after ENabling that preference. But, the
problem occurs even when its enabled. Not sure if it's the cause, but
I am running a slightly increased font size in the window title bar...

In a recent Squeak5.3alpha-18491-64bit, the preference is enabled by default, so I need to DISable it :)

Re: Weird close button hover animation

Quick update: Marcel solved the problem with:

http://forum.world.st/The-Trunk-Morphic-mt-1485-mcz-td5098558.html.

The buttons are much snappier now, too. Great!
