Incomplete ShowFade in 4.3?

[zin]

I just downloaded 4.3 Rainmeter on my Lenovo laptop (replaced my 4.02? version, there seems to be a small bug with !ShowFade triggered by a mouseup action, the fade gets about 1/3 of the way through then stops, it will complete if you move the mouse a bit, I have no mouse hover actions in the skin, just one LeftMouseUpAction, skin here:

The skin is a work in progress, and makes the entire left edge of the screen (or a draggable corner in some versions) a hot-spot for triggering a full desktop "dark" effect, hiding it and making a slowly changing darkish coloring, until you click again.
There might be an issue elsewhere in the code, but it is manifesting as an incompleted fade unless the mouse is moved, not a problem since I move the mouse down anyway, but it never happened in earlier versions.
I wish I could blank or move the mouse automatically, I tried a blank cursor but couldn't get it to work, will try it again in 4.3.

I am not seeing that problem with your code. It blanks the screen when clicked (not moving the mouse)... you might want to try changing "Use hardware acceleration" on/off in the "Settings" tab. Also make sure your video drivers are the latest version for your system.

Correct. This is almost certainly a video driver issue.

Hardware Accel didn't affect it, I will look into the drivers...
