  Closing as this is a webkit bug which will be fixed from here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160146

  As per the other report, I can't reproduce this - pressing undo just swaps the "Sprite2" action back for "Sprite". Am I missing something?

  I can't reproduce, following these steps:

  • I open your .capx file
  • it looks like the event you describe is already created
  • you say "right click and change object sprite to sprite2" so I try right-clicking the first trigger ("on any animation finished"), choose "replace object", replace Sprite with Sprite2
  • you say "now undo all states" - so I press undo

  Result: it correctly undoes the "replace object", and nothing has been removed.

  Did I misunderstand your instructions?

  Should be fixed in the next build.

  I'm not sure why you would want to do this, but it turns out the main problem was just the viewport was calculated as flipped (with the left edge on the right and vice versa). It should be fixed so you can use negative scales in the next build, if that is for some reason useful to you...

  Closing as there is nothing we can do to help without a .capx/steps to reproduce. Please see the bug report guidelines.

  Sorry, there's nothing we can do if Chrome itself doesn't recognise some gamepad buttons. Closing, please follow up via that Chromium bug report.

  Please always attach a relevant .capx; you could have included some group names and a 'set group active' action to demonstrate this better. I managed to reproduce it anyway, so the next build disables space as an autocomplete character for function name, group and animation parameters since their names can include spaces.

  No, we've asked Microsoft a couple of times now, they are still not responding to us. This is pretty typical of large companies in my experience. Hopefully we will get through eventually.

  The app manifest basically contains metadata that allows the browser to treat the game like an app. It contains information like the title, icons and orientation lock. Right now browsers mainly use it on mobile for the "Add to homescreen" feature to create an app icon, but it might be extended to be more app-like in future. It is entirely optional so you can remove it, but then browsers will treat it more like a web page and less like an app.

  I don't know why this feature would ever be a problem. The app manifest is an ordinary json file and all the server needs to do is send it like any other file and it will work. I can't offer more advice without knowing exactly why this is a problem for your client.

  Everything about why I made that reply is described in the bug report guidelines with a thorough rationale and explanation of what to do about it.

  BTW Tom runs the website, I don't have much to do with it!
