[java] java.awt.Robot bug in remote desktop
Just posting this message to document a bug(?) I've found in case anybody else runs into this. I spent all morning trying to get the java.awt.Robot class to work with my java project, I was getting really strange results, seeming to half-ignore mouseMove commands.
I found out this was caused because I was using my workstation computer remotely through Remote Desktop. Apparently, the remote link doesn't register Robot's mouse movements correctly. The class worked fine when I ran it on the computer directly.
well how would i go about determining whether its windows fault or java's fault? or should i just report it anyways?
I guess you can try to find the equivalent Win32 API for sending input to a window and write a C++ program that does that, and compare it with the Java one. However, it doesn't hurt to just report it if you don't have time to do that.
