Not sure about that.
Shouldn't there be a mouseEnter() after the mouseLeave() at line 341?
Otherwise it looks like the event_mfocus() just returns True and we're done.
Lines 364-366 look like they're doing the right thing, but only if the mouse isn't already down.
I'd add a

Code: Select all

mouseEnter(m_mouse_focus);
after line 341 (with curly braces of course for the conditional) to fix it.

Disclaimer: this is my first time looking into this section of code, so I could be way off base.
It sure would be great if this got fixed and I could do this thing as a composed widget. I just spent a bunch of hours tweaking the positions of 127 Paths! The scaling / position calculations are odd (7 white keys, 5 black keys) and so doesn't divide equally / evenly, each path must be individually tweaked to look right doing this as one huge widget... almost done that part now though, looks good even at large size on a high DPI display.
