Issues with mask point selection

[Oaktown]

I've created 12 inverted masks on top of 4 slices to map 12 different panels on 4 projectors connected to a Datapath X4 set to 2304x1536 and I'm experiencing a weird issue when I try to select the masks' corners.

About 75% of the time I click on a corner point, the selection moves to a different screen (an other Datapath X4 set to 3840x2160 and I have to scroll back to the original screen, select the slice again, click on the Edit Point tab and try to select the point again which has been very time consuming and frustrating!

Any idea what could create that behavior?

That's annoying behavior in R5.0.1.
If you just click at point, it deselects, but if you click and drag point, it will stay selected.

So, just move mouse a little before release mouse button.

Thanks Elgarf.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a consistent behavior with this selection.

That's my thread about same problem.

Shortly, when you select something on one screen, but there is nothing to select, resolume looks down by the layers not only on selected screen, but also on underneath screens.

So, you click point of the mask (that's first problem, point does not selects until you move it), but resolume looks down and found slice on your datapath screen, and goes to datapath screen.

Very annoying...

Thanks Elgarf, I took a look at your post and what's interesting is that I don't get that issue with slices just with masks!

Also in my case, the screen that get selected when I try to select a point in my mask is neither below nor is it connected by overlapping slices so I don't understand why it goes there!

[elgarf]

That's strange.

In my case it works with masks and slices: when I select slice (or click on selected slice), and have a screen below current editing screen with slice at clicked point, resolume teleportates me to this screen.

Also in 5.0.0 there is no problem with this.

The 5.0.2 update should fix this. The new rule of thumb will be that if it's not visible on the advanced output stage you currently have selected, no amount of clicking will let you select it.

So if you're in the Output tab of a specific Screen, you will never be able to select an item from a different Screen by clicking on the stage.

Sounds like a good rule of thumb!

Any ETA on 5.0.2?

And will it also fix the blending issues that have been described in other threads?
