I recently started to learn Farseer engine by following Roy Triesscheijn's tutorial. After the tutorial, I attempted a little platformer project (very simple really, just 2 boxes and a single platform) so I can get used to it. I added a control mechanism to the first box (call it box1), so I can move it around the platform and see if it works. It compiles without a problem and when it hits the other box (box2), it 'pushes' box2, which is what I expected.
However, I accidentally (just a twich of the finger) pressed the left arrow key, which moved box1 to the left briefly, and released it again, all while still holding the right arrow key (to explain it further, at the time I was holding right arrow key and was pushing box2 to the right). And to my surprise, while box1 continued to move right, it no longer collided with box2. Instead, it simply goes behind it, and move right. No collision occurred afterwards, even when I tried to hit box2 again, either form the right side, or left side. It simply went through it.
I have 2 classes. One is the default Game1.cs, and the other is DrawablePhysicsObject.cs. Here they are:
DrawablePhysicsObject.cs:
using System;

{
// First, unit conversion, since Farseer uses meters
public const float UNIT_TO_PIXEL = 100f;
public const float PIXEL_TO_UNIT = 1 / UNIT_TO_PIXEL;
public Body body;
public Texture2D texture;
private Vector2 _size;
/// <summary>

}
/// <summary>

public DrawablePhysicsObject(World world, Texture2D texture, Vector2 size, float mass)
{
body = BodyFactory.CreateRectangle(world, size.X * PIXEL_TO_UNIT, size.Y * PIXEL_TO_UNIT, mass);
body.BodyType = BodyType.Dynamic;
this.Size = size;
this.texture = texture;
}
public void Draw(SpriteBatch spriteBatch)
{
Vector2 scale = new Vector2(Size.X / (float)texture.Width, Size.Y / (float)texture.Height);
spriteBatch.Draw(texture, Position, null, Color.White, body.Rotation, new Vector2(texture.Width / 2f, texture.Height / 2f), scale, SpriteEffects.None, 0);
}
}
}

if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).Buttons.Back == ButtonState.Pressed)
this.Exit();
world.Step((float)gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.TotalSeconds);
if (Keyboard.GetState().IsKeyDown(Keys.Right))
{
box1.Position += speed;
}
if (Keyboard.GetState().IsKeyDown(Keys.Left))
{
box1.Position -= speed;
}
base.Update(gameTime);

spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteSortMode.Immediate, BlendState.Opaque);
box1.Draw(spriteBatch);
box2.Draw(spriteBatch);
floor.Draw(spriteBatch);
spriteBatch.End();
base.Draw(gameTime);
}
}
}
And I've attached a demo so you can see the situation for yourself. To reproduce the problem, keep holding right arrow key and, while pushing box2, hit left arrow, but don't release right arrow key.
Thank you for your answers.
