Click and Hold Freezes the Pointer

Question

I've been enjoying X-Plane since I bought it a couple of weeks ago, but there's an annoying little problem I'm seeing, and since I bought the 777 this weekend, it's become more prominent.  

If I left-click a knob--say the AP heading set knob--it moves the knob one notch as expected.  But if I left-click and hold the same knob, after about a second the pointer becomes non-responsive for anywhere from 1-8 seconds.  Can't move it on-screen.  The "click" stays held by the system until that 1-8 seconds passes, and then it resumes like normal.  The application doesn't seem to become unresponsive--everything else within the sim continues without issue.  On the 777, the click continues to be registered the entire time, so if I'm trying to change the A/P heading from 310 to 300, it gets "stuck" and the heading display keeps turning until the click stops being registered (and the heading ends up around 120 or so).  

I figured this was a bug with the 777 aircraft, but I see similar behavior in both the stock 747 and Cessna that shipped with X-Plane (both of those I tested loading in KSEA as a start point).  I thought also that it might be a bug with my input device (I use a Wacom tablet instead of a mouse), but when I unplugged that and tried with the Apple "Magic Trackpad 2", I saw the same behavior.  I tried unplugging the joystick, but that doesn't stop it.  And it happens both in the straight-ahead view (keystroke 'w') and the free-camera view (shift-9).  

System is Mac OSX ("El Capitan", 10.11.2 Beta (15C47a); this *could* factor in, but I don't see any other issues anywhere else on the machine).  Machine is a late 2015 27" Retina 5K, 4GHz Intel Core i7, 32GB RAM, AMD Radeon R9 M395 with 2GB.  I'll paste the log.txt file below (apologies if there's a way of attaching it rather than pasting, but I didn't see one.)  Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions anyone might have!

Answer 1

Hi benscripps,

Our general advice re: El Capitan is "don't use betas". :-D

I certainly don't see this issue in my X-Plane on Yosemite, using a USB mouse. I tried the default Cessna & the Ramzzess 777. There was a little lag in the number display when I held the left mouse button, but I could still move the pointer.

For future reference, you can upload a file by clicking on the image link and using the third tab to upload it to the server. It's not very self-evident, I know.

Thanks for that--I had installed the beta on my old Mac, and it came over when I migrated to the new Mac; this was all well before I'd even thought about downloading X-Plane in the first place.  I'll just work around it until beta advances to release and then think about it some more.  

I've a spare mouse at work, but I'm off all week.  I'll have to see what happens with a mouse and/or once the OS reaches a more final build.  Any thoughts as to, should it continue through both of those things, better to report it as a bug or post again here?   I'm still fairly new to the whole X-Plane arena, so I'm still getting the hang of what goes where...:-)

And thanks for the tip on posting the file--glad it wasn't sitting there staring me in the face the whole time...

I updated my iMac to El Capitan today since so many X-Planers are getting it. I still do not see my mouse freezing if I click and hold the left button in either the default Cessna or 747. A note on the  777 though--I learned the hard way that it is a SASL plane which has a known issue with El Capitan. :-D Our developer site has  blog posts on this issue if you'd like more information: http://developer.x-plane.com/2015/09/mac-issues-sasl-crashes-and-red-lines/

Sorry for bumping this thread, but I wanted to add a little bit more information in case anyone stumbles across the same issues I'm seeing.  

My system has now been bumped up to the "final" release of El Capitan 10.11.2, so it's no longer in beta.  (I know that doesn't automagically qualify X-Plane and its aircraft files for perfect use, but...)  

But I also thought I'd take a shot at the "nuclear option": I backed up, then reformatted my system's hard drive and reinstalled OSX from scratch.  (What with the way OSX updating works, it's probably been nearly a decade since I installed a fresh copy of the OS.)  Anyway, I reinstalled, had a brand spankin' new copy of the OS; the first thing I installed was X-Plane.  Literally nothing other than the OS and its native apps was installed; no third-party applications, no extra drivers, nothing but the OS, its bundled applications, and X-Plane.  I opened X-Plane, loaded the bundled Cirrus Thejet (I'd tried this one before as well and saw the click-lock there), and saw exactly the same click-lock behavior using the trackpad.  (I've since reformatted again and restored my backup.)  But I like to think that more or less rules out any third-party driver incompatibility or legacy junk in the system.

One other thing I should mention: I've since figured out that when the pointer gets "stuck" within X-Plane, if I cmd-tab switch to another application on the system, the pointer will start moving again immediately, but the locked mouseDown within X-Plane continues in the background.  (That is to say, if the click gets locked on the A/P heading selector and I cmd-tab switch out to Finder, I can start moving the pointer and clicking on things on the desktop, but the A/P heading keeps changing in the background.)  When I cmd-tab back into X-Plane, the pointer again becomes locked until it finally releases the click.  It seems to me that whatever is happening is definitely happening within X-Plane rather than in the OS itself.

So...I've filed it as a bug report with the form on the support page; hopefully they'll be able to reproduce it there and track it down.  Thanks again for your help!
