mouse click on an object doesn't set the input variable of that object

[triessner]

In my visualisation I (mis)use objects (ellipse, rectangle) as buttons. I.e. the ellipse of my pump: Clicking on it, sets a variable to start/stop the pump. I set the variable in the tab mode (German "Variable tasten"). In the java visualisation it works without problems, but not in this javascript visualisation.

So you have attached an tap event on the surrounding ellipse on the pump?

[triessner]

I just noticed, that the tap works, when I click in the left half of the pump. It seams, that if I click in the area between the polyline it doesn't work. In the original java version it worked also in this area. I guess if I put the polyline below the ellipse (at the moment it is above the ellipse), it will work in the whole area of the ellipse. I will try in the next days and report again here.

[tnentwig]

Yeah, I know this problem. The events are currently attached at the element itself e.g. the polyline but not the inner space.

[triessner]

As expected, it works without problems when I put the polyline below the ellipse. But I will put it over the ellipse and test, when you address this bug.
It seams, that it is a similar problem as the very first issue I reported (Polylines draw triangles in the angles). I suppose the triangles aren't visible any more, but are still receiving the mouse click.

I see. I will try something.
Edit: Ok i have found the right way to do this, dev repo updated.

[triessner]

I've tested the new release 1.0.13-3, and there it still doesn't work. Maybe your fix didn't find its way to the new version?
Now, with the cursor showing when it is over a clickable item, it is quite obvious: When the cursor moves over the (invisible) triangle of a polyline, it changes its form and indicates, that there is no clickable item below it.

I think this could be fixed by usage of "pointer-event: visible" only on visible elements and otherwise "pointer-event: none" at the surrounding div. Was this your attempt too, Chris?

[Ekristoffe]

Normally yeas but I have found some strange thing with the pointer event system.
I am thinking to check and redo the object.
I will have a big restructuration idea but It take time (every object need to be checked one by one and remake)

[tnentwig]

I think a quick fix woul be to set the pointer-events to "all". Would roughly correspond to the codesys visualization.
