small autocrolling title bug

Cheesy · 24th March 2004, 23:46

Hi here is a small little bug I found, couldn't find it on the forum.

The audio title won't autoscroll again .. oh I noticed it does after a few seconds (oh well!) (until you change track) I can reproduce if I do these steps;

1. play a track and right click on the title name in the main window, assuming it's currently auto-scrolling.
2. this will open a menu; select "Autoscroll songname"
3. this will stop the title from scrolling
4. now drag the title by holding the mouse button on the title and moving it a bit to the left or right.
5. right click on the title again and select "Autoscroll songname" again
6. the track name will not autoscroll anymore until you restart or change track.

just a really small 'bug' I found while messing about with winamp

oh, ps: if you don't do step 4 (dragging the title) then the autoscroll will work fine again, it only happens if you drag the title while its stopped!)

cheers!

Can't reproduce. There is a slight pause before autoscroll resumes after manually moving the title. This happens with or without altering the autoscroll option (steps 2 and 5). I think the pause was "built in" as feature, so the user would have time to read that portion of the title before the scroll resumed.

I also can't reproduce this.

btw, step 1 should be "select classic skin"

.. It alwasy happens with me although it does start rescrolling after a while, just not instantly, like when you dont drag the title.
