Mouse may cease to interact with game after switching window focus in Mac OS Catalina

[fireflydreamer]

Just updating here.

I made a bit of progress on narrowing this bug down after it occurred during the Limitless Blue duty last night. As usual running in windowed mode on Mac OS Catalina.

I moused out of FFXIV to tweak sound volume from the Finder menu and my cursor drifted across onto my second monitor where I had a browser window in view. Coming back to FFXIV I had no mouse click ability in FFXIV but managed to complete the duty using keyboard only. This sort of thing occurs randomly, not repeatably.

At the end of the duty, as I could not click and interact with the exit portal to leave anyway, I did some experimentation while the bug was present :

- Mouse clicks not registered in FFXIV window UI, buttons, chat box or any world objects

- Mouse clicks are being registered by all other application windows and OS.

- Mouseover tooltips and highlights do register, flash and pop up normally upon cursor hover in FFXIV

- Unplugging and replugging USB mouse did not correct the issue

- Plugging in a different mouse (simple Apple mouse) did not correct the issue

What -did- correct and reset the problem was :

- Grabbing the FFXIV window, dragging it right over onto my second monitor, then dragging it back to the main monitor

So there is at least a quick fix workaround it seems, but it suggests that the problem may relate to randomly losing mouse click registration when changing window focus in a multiple monitor setup. As mentioned before, it has only occurred since updating to Catalina.

Hope that helps !
