Two really annoying "mouse between screens" problems

[Stormweasel]

Hard to explain this but here goes:

I have my 3 WoWs set up on one screen and I use Keyclone with Focus Follows Mouse enabled.

The problem I'm getting is that when I move a toon on a screen and let a mouse button go, the cursor moves onto the bottom of a different toon window.

The window I moved from then becomes "locked" and I can't move my mouse over it (flicks back up to the top window). I *can* force it by moving the mouse over the locked up window and VERY quickly pressnig both mouse buttons to force a new camera angle but it's annoying.

That's the first problem. The other problem I have is that I'll move one toon and then when I switch to another screen and start movnig another toon, the original one starts moving and I have to switch back to the original window and just spam all the movement keys til it weirdly sorts itself out.

Anyone had any problems like this? I've got WASDQE all on the DNP list.

I also have your first problem occasionally.

What's happening is the one window sees one of the mouse-button-down events, the mouse then jumps (why?) to another window, and the original one never sees the mouse-button-up event and seems to get stuck in look-around mode.

Every time I then try to move the mouse to that window it jumps away to another one.

The solution I use is to use the PiP hotkey to make the stuck window my main one, then just press & release both mouse buttons. It then goes back to normal. I've not figured out what triggers this though.

Your second problem sounds like something else I've seen, where the toon sees the 'move forward' key down-press event, but misses the key-up event, and keeps moving. I usually get this when I'm holding down a movement key while I move the mouse out of the window into another one.

I've occasionally had that first problem too, I will try your solution Davedontmind, thanks. I've been doing /logout and canceling on the non-locked windows, then logging back in on the stuck one, but that's really annoying.

Yes, I've had this problem and used this solution as well. I think that using the mouse to move the toon in the stuck window may be what is causing the window to stick. But I am not certain.
