Googled this a lot and didn't get any useful hint/solution.
I have this simple html page including some CSS styles, jQuery, jQuery-ui and obviously Fabric.js; on document.ready
I launch an ajax call and render something on the canvas. Until now everything seems fine but when a I need to catch some mouse events I get nothing. This behaviour is shown only on Chrome (current version 25.0.1364.97); everything works fine on Firefox or Internet Explorer (v. 9).
Here's some of the js code:
$(document).ready(function() {
//setup canvas etc.
eCanvas = new fabric.Canvas('EViewport', {
backgroundColor: 'rgba(255, 50, 50, .3)',
selection: true,
selectionColor: 'blue',
selectionLineWidth: 2
});
EViewport = $("#CanvasContainer");
viewW = EViewport.width();
viewH = EViewport.height();
eCanvas.setWidth(viewW);
eCanvas.setHeight(viewH);
eCanvas.observe('object:selected', function(options) {
if (options.target) {
console.log('an object was selected! ', options.target.type);
}
});
eCanvas.observe('mouse:down', function() {
console.log('mouse click! ');
});
eCanvas.on('mouse:down', function() {
console.log('mouse click! ');
});
eCanvas.on('mousedown', function() {
console.log('mouse click! ');
});
//... render some rectangles and stuff...
});
And here's the html structure (notice that Eviewport.js file contains previously pasted code):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="baseCss/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="baseJs/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="baseJs/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Eviewport.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="Eviewport.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="baseJs/Fabric.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="MainContainer">
<div id="CanvasContainer">
<canvas id="EViewport">
Canvas is not supported
</canvas>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Selection features don't work with chrome either while they work on IE and Firefox.
I tried many things (as you can see I tried changing canvas.observe
with canvas.on
), changed jQuery and jQueryui versions but nothing changed.
Using developer tools on Google Chrome doesn't show much.
There's no z-index on html elements given by CSS, and I tried disabling different js and CSS but that didn't solve the problem.
I noticed that the problem shows also shows on the demo page of Fabric.js (just tried http://fabricjs.com/stickman/); render works, effects also but no mouse events or selection working.
Is this a bug?
Ok, finally found what's not working. I have a Wacom device attached and looks like latest Chrome version sets a flag about "touch enabled device" and that's breaking my code.
A simple solution can be changing chrome flags (chrome://flags/)
