Cursor skips to bottom octopus not in Focus

Hey guys,

I installed Octopus 1.3.2 yesterday (because I wanted it to be exactly the same as the guide til I got used to it) and had everything working I wanted. I hibernated my laptop (left of my desktop monitor) and left my desktop on over night.. so no changes there. Octopus was still running when I got up but when I went to dualbox WoW, I noticed that when my cursor is returning from the laptop screen to my desktop screen (going from left to right), the cursor appears on the very bottom of my desktop screen. Even if on the laptop it starts out at the top when I move the cursor over, it always appears at the bottom edge of the screen on my desktop. I can move my cursor back up to where it's supposed to be on the screen but it's a real pain. The same isn't true going from right to left, it works fine.

Now the weird thing.. if the Octopus window is at the forefront of my programs, it's in Focus, the mouse behaves normally and goes back and forth normally. But as soon as octopus isn't the most forefront window (I click on the wow window), the weird behaviour reoccurs. I checked the KVM settings on my desktop/server and the resolutions are set correctly, and X,Y are not filled in on either screen. I unchecked Hook Mouse but no difference. I tried running wow in windowed mode, windowed maximized mode, full screen mode but no change. Actually the behaviour occurs when *any* window other than octopus is the forefront. Same thing if it's minimized to the system tray and not showing on the task bar.

I upgraded to 1.3.5d figuring maybe it was a bug and has been fixed, but it still exists. Skarlot said he's not supporting the software anymore, so hopefully there's just a setting somewhere I can change. Anyone know? Thanks in advance!

This sounds suspiciously like hibernation caused your graphics subsystem to change modes or report false information through certain APIs. Firstly, have you tried exiting Octopus on both machines and relaunching it? If that doesn't do it, have you tried rebooting your PC(s) yet? You might have stumbled onto a problem with A) your machine, B) your graphics driver/card or C) a hibernate issue with Octopus. I sincerely doubt the latter as Octopus doesn't do anything special with graphics modes directly (far as I know anyway).

Thanks for the thoughts, I did em and no change :(

You can always try changing your screen edges (links?) to top/bottom instead of left/right and see if that changes the behavior. I'm still thinking this is not an Octopus issue but I could be wrong.
