[vwnc] Event dispatching sequence

thomas.hawker

I suspect this is a Windows phenomenon, but wanted to see if anyone else has seen its like.

 

When I work from home, I occasionally get delays communicating to my machine at work.  I couldn’t tell you whether this is due to my broadband access or through the corporate WAN.  However, I’ve noticed that events are not processed in the same order I did them – in general, mouse events are all processed before any keyboard events.  Thus, if I click in once place, type, then click in another place, the typing ends up at the second place.

 

I wouldn’t know how to simulate this, but have seen similar behavior if my work PC (or perhaps even my image?) gets temporarily busy.  Has anyone seen this kind of thing, especially on some other platform?  I recall [a very long time ago] programming on the Mac, and events always arrived in order with a timestamp to them.

 

Cheers!
