In a SM VST the drag accumulator set to hide and hold the cursor move a bit for every mouse click and can make the cursor move out of the area. Setting drag accumulator to hide only fixing this but the cursor can now be dragged out of the area and appear outside of the area when drag is finished. This is a problem for the sliders too. Cursor should stay on the moving part of the slider like in FL Studio and some other vst's.

Hi Mo,
I don't quite understand, would you be able to explain this some more?
The only difference between 'Hide' and 'Hide and Hold' is that in the latter case the mouse returns to the mouse down position when you are finished dragging. The mouse cursor has to move in both cases or nothing would happen.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I made a VST that describes the issues.
The mouse moving problem is only in rendered VST not SM. I also could not reproduce it in a new schematic but opening a schematic with the problem and delete everything and made the VST there leave the problem.. So i included the .osm also.

Hi,
The Dropdown menu goes to the drag accumulator inside the pushbutton.

GUI animations are far different between SM and hosts. Rendered plugins have always MUCH faster graphics than when you work on our beloved synthmaker, and the difference is even greater when you work on slow PCs 🙂
Rememeber also that after the development of a plugin in SM, you have to spend some ENTIRE days revisiting every single redraw and limit crucial ticks and triggers all along the schematic. 😉

I noticed the faders thing too time ago, that's weird specially when you insert a low sensivity.

Yes the cursor should jump back to where it is within the mouse area when using the hide only option in the drag accumulate.
Also the other one with the cursor skips a pixel or two after mouse click in VST's on everything using hide and hold still exist. So after saving a schematic a few times i need to copy the project to a fresh schematic before saving as VST to fix this.
