Material/item picker is triggered during A/B swipe

[1funk]

If you enable A/B comparison while RT is rendering, swipe the white line, but end up over a material, the item/material is getting picked.

On nightly build 27361


1. You will need to have a previous render in history
2. Start RT
3. In history, select a previous render and click A
4. Swipe the white line and let go of the mouse button while you are over an item/material

I am thinking of fixing this similar to the render region case.
If you have A/B comparison active, material/item picking will get activated only if you move the mouse less than 5 pixels between pressing and releasing the mouse button.

I would just like to bump this to let Chaosgroup know its important to me. I hope this is fixed in Next for modo. Its really annoying swiping and having materials/items selected.

I had to create my own toolbar with toggles for the pickers. I dont always remember to toggle them off though.

Today's nightly build (2019.02.14) has a fix for this.
Material/item picking is still enabled while A/B comparison is active, but if you move the mouse between the mouse down and up events (like when you move the comparison slider),
the pick will be ignored.

Please give it a try, and if you still find it annoying, I will completely disable the picking when A/B comparison is active.

Thanks so much Vlado!

After a quick test, I'm happy with the way it's working.

It still lets you pick materials while A/B is active, although you need to be careful not to move the mouse.

I think this is a better solution than disabling picking entirely.

Thanks again vladimir.nedev
