Screen scrolls even when mouse is outside [BUG]
« on: April 20, 2017, 06:42:13 PM »
Steps to reproduce:
1) Switch to windowed mode.
2) Start a large level that allows scrolling.
3) Hit the "Release Mouse" hotkey.
4) Move the mouse outside the actual game window.
If you now move to one of the sides, where the level can scroll to, it in fact does scroll in that direction, even when the cursor is completely outside the game window.
The indended behavior (as far as I am concerned) is to scroll only when the mouse is caught within the game window.

I can verify this. I didn't realize it was a bug that's why I never said anything but I'd say it's annoying.

This didn't used to happen anyways

@möbius: Whenever you find something that annoys you, please tell us. Regardless of whether you realize it is a bug or not. Even if neither namida nor I fix it immediately, we keep such things in mind and take it into account when making future design decisions.

This would be caused by some changes to how the need to scroll is detected. It should be a simple fix.
