Inconsistent use of Math.floor() breaks canvas, mouse

Thanks for the catch. I was worried if something like this would happen. To my knowledge, canvas doesn't like non-integer values when calling drawImage().

It was my intention to leave them as floats (for want of a better word) until drawing and then convert. Will take a look where pos() is being used.

Actually do you have a live example I could look at or even email me a zip? Would make it a lot quicker and fixable very shortly.

The code below should do it. You just need some images for background.png and mover.png that are the specified sizes. Make sure background.png is dark enough to contrast well with a blank canvas.

When the mover image moves back to the left, it will leave artifacts in its trail. I discovered while trying to build this that it's actually the background must appear at a non-integer position, rather than mover. Maybe the rectangle used to clear the canvas is different than the rectangle used to redraw the background?

By the way, this doesn't reproduce for me in Chrome, but I could see the bug in Firefox, Safari, and Opera.

Crafty.init(50, 320, 240);
Crafty.canvas();
Crafty.sprite("images/background.png",
{
    background: [0, 0, 321, 243]
});
Crafty.sprite("images/mover.png",
{
    mover: [0, 0, 25, 25]
});

var bg = Crafty.e("2D, canvas, background");
bg.x = (Crafty.viewport.width - bg.w) / 2;
bg.y = (Crafty.viewport.width - bg.w) / 2;
console.log("bg x: " + bg.x + ", bg y: " + bg.y);

var mover = Crafty.e("2D, canvas, mover");
var modifier = 5;
mover.bind("enterframe", function()
{
    mover.x += modifier;
    if(mover.x >= Crafty.viewport.width - mover.w || mover.x < 0)
    {
        modifier *= -1;
    }
});

Oops. I accidentally closed this issue when I commented. I don't see a way to reopen, so I think you'll need to do it. Sorry about that.

So I think the problem was with trying to draw elements out of the canvas bounds. Have now fixed it by modifying the drawImage values to only draw what's visible. Will upload when a few other bugs are fixed and will release as a new version.

                    //if out of bounds from the canvas, crop
        if(pos._x < 0) {
            //negative minus negative
            co._x -= pos._x;
            pos._x = 0;
        }

        if(pos._y < 0) {
            co._y -= pos._y;
            pos._y = 0;
        }

        if(pos._x + pos._w > Crafty.viewport.width) {
            co._w += (Crafty.viewport.width - pos._x + pos._w);
            pos._w = co._w;
        }

        if(pos._y + pos._h > Crafty.viewport.height) {
            co._h += (Crafty.viewport.height - pos._y + pos._h);
            pos._h = co._h;
        }

Thanks!

My mistake. That code was wrong. The problem was you were giving the sprite() function the wrong values. Here are the correct values:

Crafty.sprite("bg.png", {
    background: [0, 0, 321, 240]
});

I specifically designed the test case to center an image so that Crafty would need to work with partial pixels, both vertically and horizontally. 321x243 is the correct dimensions for the image I used. Crafty's stage is a bit smaller at 320x240. The background, in that case, would be positioned at -0.5, -1.5.
