Could you please, please enable locking the mouse cursor to the bounds of the game while in windowed or windowed fullscreen? I’ve had it with accidentally clicking a window outside the bounds of the client, and then my character suddenly just “paralyzes” right before my eyes, often leading to my character’s death before I realize the process focus was lost to another open window. Starcraft 2 has this option. I usually play in windowed mode because I often do defense work in WvW, so I have to leave it open while I do something else on the other monitors. In fullscreen mode, the game just minimizes when I alt-tabbed to another program, that will never do.

I`d love to see this. I often play on windowed when I do some mindless stuff that doesnt require much attention from me and watch movies at the same time but every god kitten time at least once I dont notice my mouse moving outside of GW window when moving camera and end up making tons of gestures in chrome and close my tabs and such. Pretty annoying.

well I play windowed full screen so I can use internet/ TS or other apps on the 2nd screen. I would prefer the window open so I can transfer to my second screen when I want to.

You should be able to see your second screen in the windows when running full screen at native resolutions, but not being able to use it mean alt tabbing anyways.or at least get something to make sure we have the present behaviour…

I would really hate to have the mouse “locked” in the window…. cause it will no longer allow me to do what I want.. at the same time while playing gw2. even buying gems would be a pain, switching screens over and over again…

If you really need that border I’d still suggest you run full screen.

If you cannot control where it goes…. why do other things?

Something like this arenanet please. If you have StarCraft 2, check the Controls option and you will see it.

It could be done with a checkbox that if checked makes your cursor locked inside borders while window is in focus so it wouldnt affect you in any way.

And why do other things? Well sometimes you need some gold and one of the easiest way is to run a chest farm in SW but it`s so utterly boring and mindless thing to do that I see no reason why I shouldnt watch something along the way.

I`m not saying that feature like this is necessary becouse i can get by but having options is never bad.

I’d love to see the alt tab thing work too, the mouse part I didn’t have a huge problem with.
