Holding Items on Mouse Cursor

[Erati]

Not sure when this broke but it seems you can no longer hold more than 1 item at a time on your cursor.

That is def not classic, and as of like a month ago you could hold up to I think 7-8 items

Now they all poof soon as the cursor is full

[Thulack]

This is why Eratani should not be doing xfers :P

I remember when this happened. My guess is it was part of Haynar's fix to some other bugs reported involving the cursor queue.

There were a few fixes to cursor queues. Some mine, some Rogean's.

There are some improvements coming.

However, bags should never be held on the cursor queue. There has never been anything in the code to support bag slots above the top slot.

If you zone with several bags in the cursor queue, or log out, or go LD, plan on doing a /petition to get them back, and it could take awhile. So don't use the cursor queue as additional inventory.

It was people macro foraging that started all the changes to cursor queues.

Anyone know what the classic 'cursor' limit was ?

I thought it was like 6-8 items you could have on there

yes, bags not included

This is good to know and should be a stickied PSA somewhere

I remember you could grief people in Luclin with the VT AE Summon Water/Food clicks. If you spammed those next to an AFK person you could get so many stacked on their cursor...

I dunno the limit during classic though.

There was no cursor queue in classic.

You would receive one item on your cursor if the inventory was full, the rest would fall to the ground.

This is how I remember it..

I lost an item to this, a lammy - ultra qq

Quoted for truth.

Spamming Summon Food I would get up to 11 on my cursor at once.:D

[Rais]

I think summoned items are coded different and were allowed to have more than one. As for slots of cursor, why do you think GMs/Staff on live always warned people to have enough empty bag slots for quest rewards that were no drop (epic comes to mind) or else they will poof and not be reimbursed? Since you couldn't drop no drop items, they would poof. If it was drop-able items, it would fall to the ground.

If it was the way that some people think it was, then NPCs giving you more than 1 item with no bag slots would all be on your cursor. It simply wasn't the case.

[Pudge]

Why didn't the forager-macroers juat auto-inventory the food they scrounged? :o

[Treats]

Yea, summoned items are placed into the queue on your cursor.

[Haynar]

Coded a fix for items in cursor queue. Including bags and items in bags. Booyah!

Pending update.

[khanable]

fixed in what sense? how will it operate now (or post patch?)

thanks haynar <3

[Haynar]

Fixed as in you dont lose items, even if having 10 full bags queued up in cursor queue. And you log out and back in, zone, whatever. No item loss.
