Description

Hi,

Well, i'm not really sure it qualifies as a bug. Still each time I startup ryzom client in window mode, it grabs the mouse pointer and put it somewhere else. I find it quit annoying and don't see the purpose of it in the window mode.

Official client on Ubuntu 10.04

Best regards.

Do you talk about the mouse changing position while loading the game after selecting your character ?

If yes, that's a known "bug" even under Windows.

"Grabbing the mouse" is the fact the OS is refusing the cursor to leave the window, I suppose it isn't that the problem ?

The mouse grabbing only occurs when pressing the left button to rotate camera.

Indeed, I was refering about the mouse changing position. It seems to appear 2 times: when you get prompted to enter your password and after selecting your character.

culprit is the excessive use of SetMouseFreeLook() and setMousePos(x,y) functions.

As I have multiple monitors and it was driving me mad, did some trial-error commenting.
On linux, this works just fine.
