René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Changes to cursor position without mouse event","articleBody":"This both affects the current tool system and the MEP22 toolmanager.\r\n\r\nThe cursor position only gets updated when the canvas detects a cursor motion, which leads to problems 1) immediately after switching fullscreen and 2) if alt-tab'ing to change window focus, moving the cursor and alt-tab'ing back to the original canvas.  With either case, the x-y position printed in the status bar is incorrect and it is possible for keyboard shortcuts (e.g.) \"g\" or \"l\" to end up affecting a \"wrong\" axes.\r\n\r\nThere is a length comment regarding this in the tkagg backend implementation (`_update_pointer_position`) but even that backend doesn't handle this properly.\r\n\r\nUltimately I think(?) the correct way to solve this is to do away with `_lastx/_lasty` and just refetch the cursor position whenever a LocationEvent must be emitted.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/anntzer","@type":"Person","name":"anntzer"},"datePublished":"2016-12-07T05:04:45.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":11},"url":"https://github.com/7581/matplotlib/issues/7581"}
