Dialog locks with viewport screen

Hi!
I have some large viewported screens and stumbled upon some strange behavior. If viewport is draggable or movable by keyboard, textbox doesn't catch mouse/keyboard events and game progression stops.
Test:
Code: Select all
screen examples_viewport_adv():
viewport:
draggable True # problem here
arrowkeys True # and here
edgescroll (200, 800)
add "some image"
label start:
show screen examples_viewport_adv
"0 step"
"1 step" # we can't get here
return
Of course I could disable draggable and arrowkeys, but it'll cause problems for mobile and disabled users. Textbox does not use mouse drag or arrow keys, so it looks more like a bug, or at least should be covered in documentation. Maybe it's also objects focus problem, I didn't dig deep enough into renpy code. So if this behavior is avoidable — any advice is appreciated

could you try putting
at the top of the screen before the viewport?

Try to add rather wide scrollbar at the right side of your viewport to let player scroll the viewport instead of drag it.

Sadly, it's didn't help, as with modal True

It could be a solution if viewport was used in another place, but in my case it's simulates players first person view, so scrollbars breaks immersion. But if nothing else helps, I afraid it'll be my only option, thanks.

Well, then you could make a button onscreen to advance through the game (instead of just click anywhere on screen).

This is actually can be a "plan B", thanks!
In the meantime, Andy_kl gave some useful hints that I currently test, one of those already gave some good (but not perfect) results:
Code: Select all
screen examples_viewport_adv():
viewport:
draggable True # problem here
arrowkeys True # and here
edgescroll (200, 800)
add "some image"
key "dismiss" action Return() # magic happens here
label start:
show screen examples_viewport_adv
"0 step"
"1 step" # we can't get here
return
So if I don't find better solution or this bug will not be fixed,
key "dismiss" action Return() will do the work.

Imagine, you trying to drag the viewport but the game determines your click as a "dismiss" and advances through the game.
