[Opensim-users] Issue with Firestorm and opensim maybe

[tringate at gmail.com]

Ubit,

Problem solved.  It only exists on my laptop, my desktop works just fine.  I 
have not used the old desktop for a year or so and it sure is slow, but this 
problem does not exist on it.

I now have to figure out if the laptop has some setting wrong in Firestorm, 
or possible in windows.

Thank you for confirming this function works fine.

On my laptop it is acting kind of like the two options you have to play 
animations. where you can play them in world or local only.  My laptop is 
stuck in local only for this hover height thing and who know what else may 
be affected by whatever is causing it.

Thanks for the spot on advice.

Hi

     fs quickpreferences hover seems working fine, at least with ubode.
The alt does see the change, may  take a few seconds..
