@idgor Working fine in Windows.

Are you using the Right mouse button, or the Left mouse button. It only works if you draw with the LMB, although mouse gestures are drawn with the RMB.

Hello there,

Do you add a new gesture which is not saved?

yes, i was using the right button. thanks for the tip.

i would suggest to extend the information on the hint text on the settings window.
it may pop up if user is using the right mouse button.

@idgor It should work with either button. There is no need for a context menu in the Settings dialogue.

I submitted a bug report. The text on the Settings dialogue could say that the LMB must be used, but it would be better if either mouse button would work to draw the path.

(VB-54978) Drawing New Mouse Gesture Fails with RMB

[Pesala]

@idgor I got some feedback on the bug:

Unfortunately, it has been decided internally that we will not fix this as using RMB to draw mouse gestures is not possible because pressing RMB instantly triggers gesture detection and we have no way to prevent it.

Your suggestion of improving the hint text would be easy to fix.

@Gwen-Dragon Please ask to improve the hint text.

Draw a new gesture in the highlighted gesture area above using the Left Mouse Button. Gestures may consist of horizontal and vertical lines, limited to a maximum of five strokes. Once you are satisfied with the shape, add the new gesture to your list.

@Gwen-Dragon Thanks. I fixed the grammar too, by adding some missing articles.
