Mouse cursor jumping windows.

[davedontmind]

My setup has one toon on my main monitor and 4 on the second monitor (one per quarter).

I tend to use my mouse on the second monitor when I'm selecting quest givers, tweaking positions etc.

However I've noticed that sometimes the mouse pointer will jump from whichever window it's over straight back to the main window on the first monitor. I can't put my finger on any particular event that causes it.

Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

that happens to me all the time, it jumps to the main screen and puts the screen in question into a spin look-a-round of death. id also like to know if theres a way to prevent this. i can recover by quickly right or leftclicking in the crazy screen before it knocks me back to the main. solutions?

i get the same thing sometimes.

would left-click on the crazy screen quickly also. works.
sometimes i'd maximize the crazy screen and realize the view is following the mouse pointer. left click and its normal again.

turning off "focus follows mouse" works. but then if you want to do something on a PiP window, you'll have to at least click once on it to "activate" the window.

I paid a bit more attention to the problem last night, and to me it appears that the mouse cursor only jumps back to the main screen when I'm pressing a mouse button. It's usually when I'm trying to spin the camera around on one toon, or sometimes when I'm interacting with vendors/other windows.

with "mouse follows focus" on, i try to not click on things too hastily when moving my mouse to the slave windows. it appears that if i press a mouse button too quickly before the program realizes i've switch windows, it will bug.

I have notice that the mouse dont jump for me when im holding down a key on my keyboard.... like pressing "alt" or "ctrl" or even "space"

I would recommend just turning 'focus follows mouse' off. I used to have the same issue and couldn't figure it out until I did that. What happens is, I think there's lag or something between hitting the mouse 'down', and focus changes, and the previous window does not get the mouse 'up' signal. That's what puts you in the "Look-around-of-death" on the other window.

On this aspect i was talking to keyclone about it what happens if you havent noticed is sometimes your curser on your main gets hidden and u have to click it to stop free movement. What i do when i notice that happen what ever screen sends mouse pointer back to main you are obv. in windowed mode. So do your window swap on maximiser so that, that screen is now you main and hit the mouse buttons to lock it in place again then swap back to main screen and your all fixed total of 5 secs.
