Missing penMove events?

[Jeremy Penner]

Hi,
I'm running Plua 2.0b10 on a LifeDrive (OS5) and I'm seeing some
weird behaviour with gui.event().  On a given pen stroke, I will
suddenly stop receiving penMove events until a penUp event is
received.  Sometimes this results in no penMove events at all; just a
penDown on one side of the screen and a penUp on another.  It's not
that the events are intermittant; once they've stopped, I don't get
any more for that stroke.  I've written a little drawing program
which illustrates the problem:

-- pentest.lua
while ev ~= appStop do
  ev, x, y = gui.event()
  if ev == penDown then
    screen.moveto(x,y)
    while ev ~= penUp do
      ev, x, y = gui.event()
      if ev == penMove then
        screen.lineto(x,y)
      end
    end
  end
end

If you make many small strokes on the screen, you should immediately
see the problem.

I've instrumented this code to keep a list of all received events and
to display it list after you quit, and I can confirm that there are
no other events received between the penDown and penUp.  

(Unrelatedly, I also get penUp events without penDown events when
tapping on the menu.  Weirdly, tapping on the menu bar results in a
negative y coordinate and a very incorrect x coordinate, but the
coordinates for tapping on menu items appear to be correct.)

Thanks,
Jeremy

Thank you for writing to me
I am a brazilian  ( poor english )
but let me see

You want to draw a line into PenDown and PenUp
so your code would be

ev = nil  -- certifie the initial value

while ev ~= appStop do
    ev, x, y = gui.event()
    if ev == penDown then -- if you ident your code
        screen.moveto( x,y) -- is more easy to
understand
        while 1 do  -- alter this
            ev, x, y = gui.event()
            if ev == penUp then  -- and this
                 screen.lineto( x,y)
            end  --if penUp
        end  --while penUp
    end  --if penDown
end -- while appStop

I not try it, but I think is this

Please

Let te more
