Ubuntu script does not perform click

[bartonh]

Clicking a row w/in application on Ubuntu doesn't seem to work.

I am running a simple 4 line action script.

1 - Select window and maximize -> works
2 - Select same window and bring to foreground -> works
3 - Click a row on same window -> Does not appear to work as the row does not become highlighted
4 - Click the Start button -> Does not appear to work

On action 3 & 4, I use the Target icon to capture the mouse coordinates when I click the row/start button. I am scripting Bit Torrent.

Any idea what I need to do or how to debug?

Thanks

Script follows:

You could add a Pause action before the clicks, sometimes the window manager needs some time to animate the window.

I tried adding Pause between clicks but no change.

What fixed it for me was to use Ubuntu command xmousepos (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/har ... pos.1.html). Rather then use the mouse pos that came from the cross hair option, I used the x & y root position provided by xmousepos and then it worked.

Hope that helps.

This is interesting. On my system they both give the same value. I have two screens with twin view from Nvidia.

Do you have multiple screens ? With the proprietary graphics card driver or the free one ?
