quaaack Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm trying out utorrent 1875, and I think I found a bug.To crash utorrent - 1. Click anywhere inside the window2. Move your mouse outside the window and move your scroll wheel around.3. uTorrent crashesI'm downloading 1 torrent, I don't know if that changes anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shikky Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I am getting this as well, as I am using a dual monitor system it is easy to forget about putting focus into another window before scrolling with the mouse wheel. Nothing else crashes and utorrent can be restarted immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Whoa. That is one ODD bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Norton Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 It is due to the way uTorrent hooks system calls so it can get its own "special mousewheel behaviour". For example, normally you can't scroll controls with the mouse wheel unless the control has focus; uTorrent "adjusts" the system calls so that it always scrolls the window under the cursor. The problem was that it only did it for the main window and not modal dialogs it brought up - I changed it to do it to modal dialogs also (like the addtorrent dialog for instance), but caused this and other bugs in the process . All part of a beta... .EDIT: I should add that this is historical uTorrent behaviour that I don't particularily agree with but I try to keep historical behaviour as much as possible so to not change the look and feel of the application .

Computer Guru Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 What does "scroll controls" mean? Isn't the ability to use the mouse-wheel on drop-down lists (a standard) part of the Win32 API? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 uTorrent hooks system calls so it can get its own "special mousewheel behaviour"µTorrent handles the scroll event on its own, or at least it probably makes some decision before passing the scroll event onto the control.
