Anyone else having issues with HUD menus not displaying? (and no, sorry...I didn't look to see if there was a bug report because I only seem to be able to get in the forums thru mozilla and it's too frustrating trying to log in to any other area)

Anyway.... it seems that lately I can't get HUD menus to appear....UNLESS they are from a HUD I am wearing. If an item is placed on the ground.....like furniture....or a dance HUD hanging somewhere.....the menus will not appear. Apparently it isn't just me since earlier today I brought a HUD to a photo shoot for people to use....and the menu would not appear for anyone else. (yes, scripts were allowed, I did check all the obvious) I'm just curious if any of you are seeing this problem?

Some objects, especially if they are normally used as attachments, are scripted to only work for their owners and/or only when attached. Did these particular objects work when rezzed in world in the past?

LOL

Yes......like I said....I have screened the obvious already.....the objects in question are ALL my furniture that happens to use HUD menus (they don't show for ME, or anyone else that uses them.....but of course, they have in the past, so clearly this is some sort of glitch)....and the other object I've tried is a dance HUD that can be worn OR used publically as a dance ball......which I have done, and it worked fine. But now, the only way the menu will show, is for me, if I'm wearing it.
Permissions are not the issue.......there is definitely some kind of disruption with HUD menus so probably my best bet is to just file a ticket. (tho I'm not entirely sure that has any effect at all except making us feel better lol) :rolleyes:

Have you tried right clicking and selecting tough (top most in the pie menu) sometimes the default action gets messed up.

PS. to avoid confusion, I asume you mean the blue dialog popup. Most people reserve HUD for objects you wear on the screen while all technical information uses the name dialog for the blue menu box.

Are you saying that their behaviour has changed -- that is, that previously these particular items would work either rezzed on the ground or when you were wearing them but now they only work when you're wearing them?

And I echo the question about what exactly you mean by "hud". Do you mean the blue dialog menu (which comes from anywhere) or do you mean a prim you wear on your screen that gives you a dialog menu?
