3dsmax 2018. UI problem

[stevesideas]

Does anyone have the problem where you have to hit any buttons twice. So, to activate a checkbox sometimes the first tap on the mouse won't do it. This didn't happen in max 2016.

Yeah, it's annoying as hell. And it's still the case in max 2019.

How are you finding max2019 otherwise ? Fairly stable?

Seems like someon made a video that is experiencing the same thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lcA...ature=youtu.be

Hello,

It really seems related to Render Setup window. At least, that's the only area where we still have problems with. I had a few emails with Attila Szabo from Autodesk, and he said they haven't been able to remove all the legacy win32 UI code yet. However, he provided me a link to a little fix, that solves 95% of the UI problems we had, mostly with 3dsmax not detecting correctly that the mouse was over a viewport ... https://knowledge.autodesk.com/suppo...correctly.html
I hope this fix will help you a bit

Regards.

Great. I'll give that a try. Thanks

First impressions.....I think this has fixed it. I'll update if anything changes. Thanks

Steve, I'm glad to read it helped you. Do you still have the problem with the Render Setup window ? as I said above, that's the only area where we still have problems with. I'd be curious to know if the fix solved it too for you or if it's the same.
