My Config: http://pastebin.com/m5d4517e0

Character set: PvE FTL
Window Layout: Blue

I've talked to Lax about this a couple times, the most recent time he looked at my config and said there was nothing in the config that would cause the issue, I believe I've figured out the cause of it.

The issue: When swapping windows Mouse Repeater will toggle on. When swapping to a window, mouse repeater will toggle on, no pop up text like the keymap to toggle mouse repeating, it just toggles on. I can push my keymap to toggle it off, but it will toggle back on when I swap windows. I believe the toggling is unique to the window, as in not all window swaps will toggle it on, but I can't confirm 100%.

The cause: I was able to duplicate this reliably by the following method. Start up the PvE FTL character set, login. Open the ISBoxer in game UI, load "AutoHeals" repeater region. I have the repeater region on the right side of the window. When you mouse over into the repeater region, and then mouse over and click on a slave window, mouse repeater will be toggled on for all 5 windows. From here on out, mouse repeater seems to be randomly turned on when swapping windows. I'm sure there is a pattern to why, but I haven't figured it out. The only fix I've found is to completely logout and restart the character set. I did NOT try to just relaunch the character set, that may or may not fix it. I guess the problem is the repeater region being flush with the game window on the right side, so the mouse repeater is ON for 1 window due to the repeater region, but when you swap windows before that turns off (mouse out of the repeater region) it gets confused.

I would appreciate any insight into a fix, or a method to prevent this from happening.

Not that it needs a bump yet, but heck the same thing is happening to me as well. Ive only recently obtained ISboxer, so i figured it was my noobish setup. Either way I'll be watching this thread. :)

I never experienced this issue until I started using repeater regions recently so I would agree that it has something to do with it. Exporting the config and /reloadui seemed to work for me, did not try relaunching the actual config.

Ahhh, that would actually explain it. The Repeater Region doesn't know the mouse left it. It sounds like all you should have to do is go back to the offending window, move the cursor into the region,and then out of it (into the same window). I'll have to do something about this, thanks for the detailed information.
