unable to tap multiability cards (land)

First time poster and new user of xmage here. The program is great so far,I'm just having a problem tapping land that has multiple tap abilities(possibly not limited to lands, I just haven't tested other cards yet). After I click on the land to tap it, it prompts me to select what color I want and as soon as I click to select my chosen color the prompt window closes and the land doesn't tap. I've tried clicking on every possible part of the screen while the prompt window is open and still no luck. Has anyone else had this problem? Even if you haven't experienced this issue any ideas on how I could fix this would be appriciated.

Which OS do you use?


Sounds a bit like the linux problem while the tray icon is blinking.
https://github.com/magefree/mage/issues/584
Does the problem also occur, if you select stop blinking from the tray sub menu?

Windows 7

Unable to choose an ability by clicking, if anywhere inside that box is clicked, nine times out of ten the box will disappear and nothing will happen.
Tried doing what you said by clicking stop beeping in the tray menu, nothing seemed to change.
Would not having card images and/or symbols cause this problem?

I have a screenshot, but i cant post the imgur link here.

If i click to select one of the three abilities the box will close without tapping the land, on a rare occasion close to 1/50 the land will tap, making it less than ideal to play any card that will prompt a tap box like this to open.
I have tried reinstalling Java, Xmage and all images/symbols, and closing background programs.
Any other ideas to try and fix the problem are welcome.

On windows 7 64bit. (system specs are that of an up to date gaming rig)

You need 4 or 5 posts to be able to add attachments to your posts.
So simply do 2 dummy posts to be able to add the image.

The ability selector has a specific problem https://github.com/magefree/mage/issues/420 with clicking. As the window opens and you click once outside the window, the click on the selector won't work without reopening the window.
I guess you have a specific situation were your mouse/hardware already makes a kind of double click to open the window and so the click in the selector window is ignored.

Maybe you can check with another mouse or another mouse setting, if you can improve the handling for you.
So check detailed if you/your mouse does already the double click by opening the window.

Beside this problem, never got a feedback about a problem with the ability selector. So it does not seem to be a common problem.
