Graphic/mouse problems in draft lists

beorn · 07-16-2009, 12:46 PM

I am finding the draft lists extremely frustrating to use.

If you place the name even a very few pixels off dead center of the slot you are aiming for, the name gets inserted into a seemingly random place earlier in the list... To clarify, if you pick a location slightly too high, it does not necessarily replace the name above the slot you are aiming for, but rather I have to go search back in the list to see where the name ended up and then play detective to figure out which name got knocked out of the list.

Extremely frustrating!

Beorn,

Sorry for the slow response to your thread.

Can you tell me which OS you are using, so I can try to reproduce this issue?

Thanks,

Steve

It's Windows XP

Hmm, I wonder what's going on here. I tested this out on my XP and Mac boxes, and I found it to be pretty robust. Pretty much every time I tried to do it, if I was dragging one player over another, they replaced one another.

I'd hate to think it ties into video drivers, but I'm confounded by the fact that I don't have the issue...

Still pondering.

Well, let's wait and see whether the problem comes up on other machines.

It's only online leagues that use this, and only those leagues that use in-game drafts... and only users who make substantial lists are likely to notice, so it might take some time for others to speak up.

But it may turn out to be only a quirk with my drivers or mouse.

OK, so, for now, I'm going to close this thread down. If you happen to hear of it elsewhere, just let me know, and I'll do the same!

Thanks,

Steve
