Re: [Visualpython-users] Bug: scene.mouse.camera init

[Bruce S. <Bru...@nc...>]

For the upcoming Visual 5 on Vista (and probably on XP), 
scene.mouse.camera does have a value immediately even though the mouse 
is outside the window; it is the upper left corner of the window. Is 
that what you were looking for?

The sourceforge bug and features tracking has not been used much for 
various reasons. However, with the upcoming release of Visual 5 it might 
make sense to make use of it.

I have to say that creating or extending a feature request list doesn't 
have much point at the moment, as all hands are more than full just 
trying to release Visual 5, and the hands and heads of users will be 
full just trying out the new environment.
