Window - Position - Magnetic Borders - this seems to be enabled by default. It makes movement of a widget jerky. I disable it and dragging a widget becomes smooth. This is what I want all my widgets to be by default, smooth to drag around a desktop as per all my other widgets. So my question is: Magnetic Borders - how do I disable it in code? or, how do I disable Magnetic Borders for all widgets in configuration of the IDE? |

Not a solution but more info... a bug ? If you right click on the widget - position - magnetic borders - untick then right click on widget - functions - save as default config in the config.ini file - MagneticBorders=0 is added and updates OK BUT it makes no difference when the widget is restarted, it defaults to enabled, no matter what is in the default config.ini file. |

Good info. Changed to BUG. It is an annoying 'feature'. The jerky movement implies a graphic problem with Xwidgets. When you come from another widget engine where the widgets move smoothly on the desktop your first impression of Xwidgets are that the widget engine is not as well-coded due to the poor way they drag... It isn't until you unclick the magnetic borders that you realise that it isn't a bug but a 'feature'. The magnetic borders also prevent you placing a widget on screen with precision. I find myself turning magnetic borders off too frequently. This small problem needs to be addressed as it shows Xwidgets in a bad light. |

Thank you hamid, widget.MagneticBorders=0 works, but don't you think if MagneticBorders=0 is in the default config.ini file it should set it at startup ? |

now i found what you mean, but the problem is not the MagneticBorders settings, the problem is the Config.ini doesn't load at all, so better to add it to a new topic to prevent confusion, since the problem doesn't related to MagneticBorders and better to replace bug to suggestion for this one, since there is no problem in this one |
