Hollywood app hangs if not using P96 screenmode

Post by midwan »

I have a weird issue that was reported to me, about one application I made in Hollywood (v9.1).
Here's the link to the Github issue: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amidon/issues/5

It took me quite a while to narrow down when this is triggered, since I couldn't really recreate it in my environments in the beginning. But from the feedback I got from various users and the tests I made, it seems to be triggered only if P96 is NOT used (in other words, if we're using an AGA screenmode instead of an RTG one).

The symptom as mentioned in the Github issue above, is that the application window becomes unresponsive. It can be moved and resized, but no widget in it responds to clicks anymore (textboxes, buttons, etc). This happens as soon as the window is opened.
If I switch to a P96 mode (tested using the Aminet 2.1b version and also the newer iComp ones), I cannot recreate the problem anymore (which is why it took me a while to see it, I'm usually testing in RTG).

The application is open source (GPL3) and the sources can be found on Github: https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amidon

Any ideas on what might be happening here, and suggestions for a solution please?
