9th April 2013

Restarts Gestures after system returns from sleep

 

 

Customers reported that after system sleep and resume the touch stopped working and that closing and restarting gestures overcame the problem.  It was subsequently reported that after a delay the gestures would actually start working. Given there was no obvious reason for this behaviour, which was only reported by 2 customers, the gesture software is now closed and restarted on resume from sleep. However, the side effects of Gestures restarting are that if the log window or settings window is open, they'll close and won't reopen when the app relaunches. Any changes made in the settings window that haven't been saved will be lost. Also, the icon in the menu bar may change position.
