WebBrowserComponent swallows mouse events

[jamiebullock]

Hi,

I’m using JUCE 4.2.4 on OS X 10.12.

I’ve found that the WebBrowserComponent swallows mouse events (at least on OS X). A minimal example illustrating this can be found here: http://pastebin.com/NbfryUgn

Is there any suggested way to change this behaviour such that mouse events can be intercepted prior to passing to the native browser? Note: I also tried placing another Component on top of the WebBrowserComponent, but it seems the browser wants to always be top most and swallow all events within its bounds.

WebBrowserComponent mouse focus/resizing issue on 10.11

I've got an issue with the WebBrowserComponent on 10.11, which isn't a problem on 10.9. It seems that it steals mouse focus as soon as the mouse enters the component (even if dragging on another component). This means that when I am trying to resize it using StretchableLayout components, I can't make the WebBrowserComponent's area smaller, without going exteremly slowly and staying over the StretchableLayoutResizerBar. hopefully this video makes the issue a little clearer: https://dl.dropboxus…

I’m going to take a look into this now, but if you find any solutions let me know!

@jamiebullock did you work this out? thinking I might somehow be able to trap my mouse when I start dragging the re-sizable layout

I don’t think this is easily possible. The WebBrowserComponent is a native view overlay hovering on top of any JUCE components.

@olilarkin I don’t think so. AFAIR I worked around the issue somehow.
