with mouse outside of the Recipe Output window :)

Attachment video examples: The foldit client window must be large enough for this to happen and the phantom control area moves basically from right to left as the client window is widened. It stays roughly mid-height.

Just to be clear, you can right-click those links and select "Save Link As…" or the equivalent.

Remove the "_.txt" at the end, so the filename ends in ".asf".

I was able to view these files in Windows Media Player.

The "phantom control area" means you can scroll the recipe output window up and down or right and left while the mouse is outside of the window.

I've seen this happen before, but I'm not able to reproduce right now on devprev.

Thanks LociOiling for the added info.

My feeling it is a race condition that can happen sometimes. I have 4 clients (on 2 different puzzles) using the same client folder that exhibit this behavior at the moment. Two other clients using another folder are not affected.

Just realized these last two clients were NOT using the latest devprev. Closed clients and re-opening with latest devprev…

CONFIRMED, those 2 clients running now the latest devprev (20180411-0d2a98333f-win_x86-devprev) are also affected by this bug.

LociOiling: Is it possible you tested on a 'previous' devprev client? Could you recheck? Thanks

Also the effect is noticeable only after the Recipe Output window is full but you can notice that the solution does not rotate/move when you are in the right place to affect the Recipe Output window.

OK, I can recreate now.

When I click and drag along the upper left side of the recipe output window, the scrolling effect seems to kick in. The window has a dark border with a bright inside edge. Clicking and dragging on the bright edge about 4 to 5 lines down starts the scrolling effect reliably for me.

While the scrolling is in effect, dragging scrolls the recipe output window, even if the mouse pointer is outside the window. Clicking on the background outside the recipe output window usually clears it up, but not always.

I can't get this to happen in main. It takes a little practice, but once you find the right spot, it's pretty easy to recreate at will in devprev.

So to be clear, the issue is the output window is scrolling when it shouldn't be?

you can scroll it if you click in the some area outside the window and move the mouse as seen in the clips.
