Instead of damaging the entire surface when rendering a cursor move,
we can use the EGL_KHR_swap_buffers_with_damage extension to only
damage the part of the window covered by the cursor. This should
reduce the cursor movement latency on Wayland.
We previously used strstr, which can be prone to false positives when
the name of one extension is a substring of another extension.
This commit creates the helper function util_hasGLExt, which asserts
that the substring found in extension list is bounded by either spaces
or the beginning/end of the string.
Corners of table have '+' added, and adds new command line flag --rst-help,
which adds some extra formatting to the make it an rST compliant table for the
in-line docs.
Using util_cursorToInt messes with the error tracking for normal movements,
and is not necessary since we are computing an absolute position on the
client window.
Instead, we should pass doubles directly to display servers and let them
decide how to best handle them. For example, XIWarpPointer accepts doubles
directly.
This prevents the host cursor from moving into another window in capture
mode, solving the problem of input going to an overlapping window in
capture mode, and also preventing loss of focus with focus_follows_mouse.
Currently, (un)grabPointer is used both for tracking/confining the mouse
in normal mode, as well as entering/exiting capture mode. This makes it
impossible to use separate cursor logic for capture mode, which is needed
to deal with overlapping windows for the Wayland backend.
This commit creates separate (un)capturePointer for entering/exiting
capture mode. There should be no behaviour changes.
This adds a new method to the display server interface to allow the
application to notify the ds when there is a guest cursor position
update along with the translated local guest cursor position. This makes
it possible for the display server to keep the local cursor position in
sync with the guest cursor so that window leave events can be detected
when the cursor would move into an overlapping window.
Wayland currently just has a stub for this, and the X11 implementation
still needs some minor tweaking.
This option controls the time period (in ms) after which the help menu
appears when holding down the escape key. After this time period,
capture mode is no longer toggled.
This fixes#527.
Due to the logic in the event loop property events may get filtered out
that were clipboard related. This changes ensures the clipboard event
handler code gets to run first avoiding this issue.
The clipboard atoms may not exist yet and as such we must create them if
this is the case. Failure to do so results in `SEL_DATA` being zero
breaking the clipboard paste mechanics
Since we now let the mouse hook linger until the process is killed, the
cursor event that the hook signals may now be null, as the capture could
have stopped. If the hook fires during this time, a crash occurs.
Instead of converting every SID to string with ConvertSidToStringSidA
and compare it with the magical SID string for local system with strcmp,
we could instead create the local system SID and compare directly with
EqualSid.
We don't actually have any handles that should be inherited, so specifying
TRUE for bInheritHandles to CreateProcessAsUserA is pointless.
Furthermore, according to MSDN, "[y]ou cannot inherit handles across
sessions," and we are spawning the host in a different session, so this
is even more pointless.
