Dropdowns do not work properly with "x-mouse" style "window tracking" enabled

[swinokur]

Bambu Studio Version

1.9.3.50

Where is the application from?

Bambu Lab Official website

OS version

Windows 7

Additional system information

No response

Printer

X1C

How to reproduce

1. Enable "window tracking" in Windows 7 (or later?). This means that the window focus will automatically move to whatever window the mouse is in, without clicking. You can find a piece of software to easily manipulate this feature here: https://joelpurra.com/projects/X-Mouse_Controls/
2. with "activate window tracking" ticked and delay set to 0 ms, attempt to use the dropdowns in Bambu Studio. For example, try to change filament types, select a different printer, etc in the "prepare" tab.
3. You will notice that the dropdowns "vanish" before the mouse can move to select them

Actual results

As mentioned, the dropdowns vanish before they can be selected by mouse.

The current workaround is to remember to run the above mentioned "x-mouse" controls application and disable window tracking when using Bambu Studio.

Expected results

Ideally the dropdowns are not interpreted by windows as separate "windows" but actually as dropdowns within the application so that selection can work properly inside the application.

Project file & Debug log uploads

I don't think there are any log files needed for this UI issue, but if any can help please let me know which log(s) to enable (if any) for tracking.

This happens on Linux with Hyprland as well, rendering all dropdowns unusable.

Can reproduce on hyprland too, changing the follow_mouse setting is a temporary solution

I can't seem to get it to work even with changing follow_mouse. So far my only workaround has been to switch over to Plasma and use it there, which is unfortunately kind of a major stopper when I'm in the middle of other things.

This is a known problem, but we haven't found a solution yet.

Hi, this seems to be fixed on BambuStudio-01.09.05.51.

It is still not fixed on that version for me.
