Guild Wars 2

Bug: There seems to be some sort of short grace period after you release a mouse button (left or right, not middle click) where the cursor can leave the window. This does not occur on press, only on release.

Issue: With the mouse cursor outside of the window, the next click will end up on another application or on the desktop, causing Guild Wars 2 to lose focus, which then results in it minimizing.

Reproduction: To reproduce it, just move your cursor near the edge of the screen, hold down one of the buttons, then let go and throw the mouse as far right as you can as fast as possible.

Gameplay Impact: The most common scenario where this occurs is when you’re holding right click to rotate the character then let go of the button before you have finished sliding the mouse in that direction. Has almost caused death a few times.

I believe this issue to be the same as that reported as " Game minimizes randomly while moving ".

I always use 2 monitors and I’ve never experienced this. I’ve also tried to reproduce it as you said, but the game is still fine. I play in fullscreen mode (not windowed fullscreen), accessing the second monitor minimizing the game with alt+tab.

Can you provide some more informations, like graphic card and resolution (windowed, windowed fullscreen, fullscreen)?

I can elaborate a little further, which may help.

2 monitors configured like so:
- 1920×1080 120hz display configured as the left, primary display. (gw2 running on this one)
- 1920×1200 60hz display configured as the right, secondary display.

This means I’m dragging toward the right when it occurs.

GW2 is running fullscreen, not windowed.

Variations in framerate don’t seem to make it more or less likely to occur.

The bug only occurs in-game, not at the character selection screen or anywhere otherwise not loaded into the world.

I actually had this happen to me a lot (fullscreen mode) and I got so frustrated I googled and realized Ultramon can do a hotkey which allows you to stay focused on one monitor, and when I toggle that on, I no longer have the issue.

There are indeed 3rd party ways to solve this temporarily, but ideally the correct way is to have it solved at the source so everyone can benefit.

Man it troubles me everyday. At first I tried to disable all kinds of service, start up applications. In the end it’s gw2’s issue with dual screens.
Thank you for addressing the issue precisely!
Other then that we can only wait for official update.

I can’t replicate this on my dual screen setup. Do you have “smart move” enabled in your mouse settings?

This just started happening to me recently and it’s REALLY annoying… I’m wondering if anythings been done or going to get done about it?
