InDesign panel: Mouse events dispatched twice on some computers
we've got indesign panel built flex-based sdk , it's running in cs 5.0, 5.5 , 6.0 no problems in fair amout of installations (100+ different machines in parts of world). however, 2 customers reported strange issue left scratching our heads , i'd welcome troubleshooting since in dark here.
the problem in these 2 particular instances mouse clicks in our panel dispatched twice meaning fold-out tree views folded again, drop-down menus closed right away etc. have not been able find common factors , not reproduced ourselves. drop-down menus in particular have no custom event handling @ it's internal flash runtime far can tell.
obviously both problematic computers out of reach (remote parts of world) , people use them busy in daily production work , can't pause extended periods of time allow in-depth debugging.
some observations may isolating bug:
- on 1 mac newly created user account runs same version of zxp same installation of indesign cs 5.5.
- second problematic mac runs cs 5.0 , said have been working 2 weeks ago no adobe updates since then.
- both machines have standard apple mouse.
- computers have been rebooted, zxp has reportedly been reinstalled, , on second 1 ran webex session witnessed kuler (also flash-based, right?) didn't exhibit same behavior.
- during webex session use keyboard navigation operate same widgets (e.g. fold/unfold tree nodes).
i'm not familiar runtime architecture of these flash-based extensions know if system-wide flash player involved or if runtime entirely bundled indesign , not user-upgradeable. 1 customer tried upgrading 11.5 in case nothing improved.
the customer 1 machine 2 user accounts had different behaviors has unfortunately (but understandably) reinstalled user account since cannot wait solved. leaves me single instance (the cs 5, v7.0.4) bug repeatable. idea on should try next while @ same time not interrupt person's workflow much?
