Bug: SheepShaver + Photoshop 4.x/5.x

Post by kikkoman »

SheepShaver version:
SheepShaver 2.3 - snapshot 2006/05/14

Bug:
In seemingly every version of Photoshop i've tried (4.x & 5.x), the mouse pointer/cursor is unable to line up correctly with brush strokes.

Example 1) When i try to click on a color in the 'Swatches' table, it instead selects the color above it.

Example 2) When i use the Paintbrush or Airbrush, with "Painting Cursors" set to 'Brush Size' or "Other Cursors" set to 'Precise', the pointer does -not- match or line-up correctly with the rendered brush stroke. It appears to be consistently several pixels out of alignment.

Why this matters:
When trying to use the 'Eyedropper tool', or using the "option" key on the keyboard to invoke the 'Eyedropper tool', selecting a color on the canvas usually results in selecting the wrong color, which is several pixels off. A real headache. :?

Any ideas?
