Mouse stops working in-window: MacOS Client

[Packetdancer]

To Packetdancer: It's running as a window. This is the first time I've seen this occur, however, in over two years of running this game on this machine, so I don't know why it'd change now? And I've seen it occur whether or not my second monitor is on (i.e. all windows on one screen vs. some windows on a second screen). For example, it just happened tonight, and my second monitor was not on (and it has happened in the past when it was turned on). For reference, the second monitor is a tablet monitor that I use to draw.

I'd try running it in full-screen mode just to see, because I'm fairly certain it runs full-screen within the bottle even when the WINE layer is running windowed. With regards to the second monitor, if it's even something that macOS is aware of and the cursor strays onto the screen—even if the screen is off—it would trigger the second-screen bug. Some monitors still show up as a monitor in the display list even when in low-power mode; I don't know if Cintiq-type tablets are one such or not. (You could eliminate that as possible cause by temporarily unplugging the tablet, though; if it still happens, you know it's not the second monitor issue.)

As for why it would change when it hadn't had the problem before, that part's easy; the version of Crossover that the FFXIV client is built atop for macOS was recently updated. In updating Crossover, it also updated the version of WINE used in Crossover, which quite possibly involved pulling the mouse cursor bug from mainline WINE into Crossover.
