i don't think this specific bug has been addressed anywhere else...

right clicking a knob (bitmap or vector) moves the pointer to the click point but the knobs output doesn't change.

i'd be a little surprised if this hadn't been noticed before... 🙂

Be a little surprised then...

I think this is a new bug that wasn't showing up in previous versions.

It seems to be that the Float Switch in the 'Knob' control module is not working as it will output a value which is no longer present at either input.

It could be the trigger has been supressed somewhere along the line but i didn't spot where.

Here's the culprit:

The trigger blocker is stopping the control from updating. The interact boolean coming off the Knob Control module is false when right-click is used.

I believe this is a recent addition to the controls so I think this bug is new too.

Can anyone tell me what this is for?

nice catch oddson!

I simply bypassed the blocker and the right click works fine.

so... what's the blocker for then? 🙂 Does it's abscence compromise the knob somewhere else?

All seems to function ok to me...

Ah!

I havn't had a chance to look into this as yet, but I appear to have a similar problem with a schematic that I've been porting the new knobs into.

Courtesy of Oddson and Stefan I previously implemented a "zero the knob" component into an old schematic and since I have started to update the knobs this function has gone south...

If'n I get the chance I will have a look later on and try the fix...here's hoping

Ok, good spot.

The blocker is there to stop values passing back up the module hierarchy during automation. The performance increase is not massive but it is noticeable, particularly with many automating knobs.

To retain this optimisation it just needs a correction to the schematic to allow flow upwards for the right-click events. I'll sort this.

This problem is still present in the sliders.
