WaitLeftMouse takes 4 seconds to react on m68k

Hi.
I have a small program. In the main loop it waits for 'WaitLeftMouse'.
There is a debug log before and after with timing.
Sometimes, or actually most of the time when I click in the window it takes ~4 seconds until the 'WaitLeftMouse' wakes up.
Any idea what's wrong there?

It's pretty simple.
I've stripped it down to this:
Code: Select all
/*
Some @Xyz setup.
Most notably:
*/
@DISPLAY { Title = "", Width = 400, Height = 460, Color = #BLUE }
Repeat
DebugPrint(GetDate(#DATELOCAL), "Waiting for left mouse...")
WaitLeftMouse
DebugPrint(GetDate(#DATELOCAL), Left mouse pressed.");
Forever
According to the log output 80% of the time from clicking left mouse to the second log output takes ages (subjective feeling).
If I click as soon as possible as the first log output appears, the second comes ~2 seconds later.
Regards,
Manfred

WaitLeftMouse() won't wake up until the left mouse button is up again. Are you releasing it immediately after clicking it?

I'm doing a mouse button click - press, and immediately release.
I've just tested again and the delay varies. But it's 2-4 seconds.
Which feels like an eternity.
On MorphOS there is no such delay.

Weird. What system is this exactly? Which version of AmigaOS? Any patches?

This is on two Vampirized systems. A600 and A2000. Pretty much stock otherwise, previously 3.9, now 3.1.4.
I'll give it a try on a few more none Vampire systems.

Yes, please test on a non-Vampire system as this looks very strange.

OK, Tested on an A1200 with ACA card.
Seems like the delay is not present there.

Hmm, strange. Unfortunately, I don't have a Vampire here for testing. Maybe report this issue to the Vampire team, I doubt that this is a Hollywood problem.
