[RC1] Mouse cursor lost actual position on timeout

[undef.de]

This i notice this a long time ago (maybe at B1.3), but i wasn't able to discribe it understandable, but now i can... hopefully.

The mouse cursor has a timeout after that the cursor gets hidden. But in this situation the position of the cursor is moved to the middle of the viewport (0x0 i guess).

A click on a mouse button (like a map list in XAseco) or somewhere else does not reset this timeout, but it have to, because the user makes a mouse action. So the cursor should be still visible and placed at the position as it was before the timeout counter starts.

See my Screenshots to (forgot to manually add a cursor here):




PS: I haven't tested this in SM-Storm or TM-Stadium yet, but i guess there is the same behavior.

yes same behavior in storm
i'm wondering why there is this timeout anyway, for what? really annoying in my opinion

this to hide the cursor in game so it is not visible anymore
but the bug you have found makes the cursor disappear despite a visible GUI.

a correction proposal would be not to hide and not to move the cursor if there is a GUI?

So, the mouse gets hidden but in a centered position.

Why mouse coords are not remember like in tmu?

This is the cause of the many jukeboxed tracks i didnt juke

I confirm this issue

The best solution in my eyes is to don't hide the cursor if the mouse moves (the current status), but also if one of the mouse buttons is in use (left/middle/right...) but not only if the cursor is somewhere over a GUI element or a Manialink.

The mouse position is currently reseted to the last position where i was before the mouse stays still (but pressing buttons). You can test this, if you move the mouse just one pixel.

is the mouse not always in use in ShootMania? Because then this won't work as fix there... you don't want the mouse cursor running across the map all the time

Ahmm... ok, in ShootMania your are right... i was only thinking about TM. But in TM my suggestion works.
