Guild Wars 2

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.

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.

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’ve been having this problem and decided to see if I could find a way to reliably reproduce it. Managed to do it and looked to see if anyone else has reported it, then found this.

I’ll re-report the bug with this more specific information so that hopefully they’ll see it, but figured I’d respond here to let y’all know how it can be reproduced in case it helps you form habits to avoid it until it is fixed.

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. My mouse sensitivity is set very high so I can comfortably get the mouse anywhere on the screen rapidly with just small finger movements. I often don’t notice that the mouse has left the window and end up clicking again, causing Guild Wars 2 to lose focus, which then results in it minimizing.

Obviously 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.

It has almost killed me a few times. :P
