menu problem

    Whenever I try to pick an element from the menu, it seems to fail like half the time.

    I recently figured out why this happens:

    I hope I'm not the only one with this problem...

    I've never had this problem. How fast are you clicking? Does it tend to select it better if you click longer?

    I think there used to be a bug where if you clicked and lifted the mouse on the same frame, it wouldn't select the element. But even doing tpt.setfpscap(3) this doesn't happen for me, I can't reproduce it.

    It's when you click, and then move the mouse off the menu before releasing the button.

    The example I gave was more extreme, it tends to happen a lot faster.

    Well OK that explains it.

    I can consider finding a way to change it, but right now you need to do a full click to select an element. It isn't selected on mousedown, it is selected on mouseup. If you don't do a proper mouseup, then it won't select.

    Every button is the same, if you move the mouse off the button it cancels it

    Perhaps you could make it so that if the mouse button is released maybe 2 or 3 frames after leaving the menu, it will still count as selecting an element.
