  I can reproduce, but there is nothing we can do about this - the recording is handled entirely by the browser.

  You should report the Chrome issue directly to crbug.com and the NW.js issue to https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues.

  Thanks, should be fixed in the next build. The popup window gets the mouse release message which is why it gets stuck. The workaround is to fire mouse button release events when the window loses focus, which is what we already do for keyboard input.

  Just use Cordova, which is a mature and officially supported way of running mobile apps in a webview.

  This is deliberately designed to be practically impossible to prevent games being reverse-engineered. So I wouldn't even try.

  Closing as not a bug, see "Expecting math calculations to be exact" in common mis-used events and gotchas.

  Angles are internally stored in radians and the value in degrees is subject to imperfect calculation precision. All software in computers must anticipate and handle this kind of slight imprecision.

  Sorry, this is most likely just another case of the limitation in Windows that it only allows 10,000 graphics objects to be created. Very large projects can run in to this, which is why we added the icon cache settings in Preferences. Try changing them and you should be able to avoid this.

  Thanks for the suggestions - several of these have been mentioned before, but right now our focus is on developing Construct 3, so we'll most likely be looking in to implementing any new features/requests for that.

  Oh jeez, that's a bit of a snafu. I'll check the installer cleans up the old folders properly!

  Do you keep exporting to the same folder? You might need to delete it to empty every time before exporting - otherwise every time you update NW.js, it looks like it adds a new folder and leaves the old one behind.

  That's a confusing name for a global variable

  This is actually pretty difficult because you need to build a string with the variable contents, but if the string contains JS characters then it will cause a syntax error (or in some circumstances, a pretty bad security vulnerability). It's probably easier to find a different way of doing that - why not prompt with ordinary objects in the C2 project?

  Closing as not a bug as per described, and also does not follow the requirements so would be closed anyway. Use layer names if you want to refer to the same layer regardless of its index.

  That's definitely wrong, you should take a look through the files and see what's taking up so much room.

  Top tip: don't argue with the moderators on a forum. It takes hard work to keep a forum running smoothly with no flamewars. Nobody is going to put up with anybody being difficult.
