Package: neverball
Version: 1.5.4-3
Severity: minor
Today I showed someone Neverball and he did very well (passed whole Easy
collection without a game over!). The game is intuitive, but I noticed
he had a small difficulty going to the next level, he had to click Next
Level twice to advance. He would click once, realize it didn't work,
then click again. I suppose he thinks he misclicked, so he reclicks.
This was so familiar to me, it looked like and I had the same since
forever but never consciously noticed. I must have grown used to it and
started just double-clicking. So I tested and indeed, there is a bug. In
the menu screen you get after a ball, whether you pass a level or fail,
and whatever you click (either Retry Level or Next Level), your first
click is ignored. The second click will work. This also happens if you
press escape to pause. Thinking about it, this is quite annoying,
because to quickly retry a level you need to do a useless click, click
Retry Level, left-click to start, then right-click if you want to speed
up. That makes 4 clicks just to retry!
This is completely reproducible. Although it's hard to tell since I
hadn't realized the issue before, I'm under the impression I have this
problem since the first time I played Neverball, which would be years
ago and on a different machine. Surely this has to do with Neverball
grabbing the mouse during a ball and releasing it after the ball. In
fact, this bug may not be as stupid as it looks, maybe some applications
voluntarily only take focus with a click and need a second one to
perform an action.
