SoaS/10 Live, Physics: Hand tool (move tool) crashes the activity

[spaceman_ozu]

Distribution: Sugar on a Stick/10
Created from Fedora-Live-SoaS-i686-20-1.iso
Running as a live system (not installed)

Activity: Physics

Problem: When a "hand tool" (a tool to drag objects in Physics activity) is clicked on any object, the Physics activity exits (as soon as the left mouse button is released)

Hardware: Dell D400, D600

What version of the Physics activity are you running? This should have been fixed in recent versions. Please try ​http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addons/versions/4193#version-19

I am running the version that the SoaS/10 updated to I believe it is version -17. The update process chose that version and did not offer to update to -19.

I tried the hand tool in another environment: a regular (i.e. to the hard drive) installation of Fedora 20-1, from Fedora-Live-LXDE-i686-20-1.iso. Fully update the installation, then install Sugar from Groups.

When running in a Xephyr window, a similar problem occurs. Clicking with a drag tool on any object disables any further changes inside the Physics drawing area, and the mouse pointer is not rendered. It doesn't crash though - you can still quit out of Physics by clicking on a square in the right top corner: the mouse is rendered fine outside the drawing area.

When running by logging out of LDXE and logging into Sugar, the problem does not occur: the hand tool works properly.

Not sure why Physics 19 is not being offered by the updater, but you should be able to install it anyway: just open Browse and click on the link provided in comment 1.

If it doesn't work, please attach the log file to this ticket. (The log file is available from the log activity, which you will find in the List View (the icon on the top right of the Home View)

OK, this time it did updateto Physics 19. Running from the SoaS/10 USB.
Unfortunately, same failure as I described before for Fedora20.1. The mouse disappears, along with any ability to do anything with it in the drawing area.
I tried to upload the log file, but I think it failed because of moderation.

I'd like to pick up on this thread once again. Any chance you can email the log file to me since you don't seem to be able to upload it? thx.

This was fixed in v18+ (acc7eef6e5be2bdb1fdd387b06b033bd3b3eb9d1).
