Switching to windowed mode, have to click twice?

[randomnovice]

Hi folks,

A pesky little annoyance I'd like to fix.

When I switch out from fullscreen to a window, I find that I have to click once to 'wake' the window before love.mousepressed registers anything (which it does with the second click). I've checked love.mousefocus and it doesn't seem to be negative as well as love.window.hasFocus and I've tried love.window.requestAttention.

I'm running OS X if that's relevant.

It's not a massive thing -- but is there a way to get around it?

I don't have that problem on my (Linux) system. But there's WAY too many variables to help diagnose the issue without seeing some code. Can you post your .love or a mini .lua that reproduces the issue?

It's not much to look at yet but I've attached the .love file.
To reproduce:
-Click "Open Editor"
-Try clicking "New" (nothing happens)
-Click again without moving the mouse... it works!

Works for me on Linux. First click brings up a popup.

Usually this is a matter of the window manager and your settings, nothing that löve can control, if its not sending a click there is nothing to react on.
However, ive added a print in your love.run section:

Code: Select all

visibletrue	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
mousefocus	true	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
focus	true	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
mousepressed	922	326	1	false	1	nil
visibletrue	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
mousefocus	true	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
focus	true	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
focus	false	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
focus	true	nil	nil	nil	nil	nil
resize	1920	1053	nil	nil	nil	nil
mousereleased	922	326	1	false	1	nil
mousepressed	114	12	1	false	1	nil
mousereleased	114	12	1	false	1	nil

The focus flickers and the order of events seems to be odd.
In anycase i think you can just go around this by simply not using fullscreen but a frameless full screen sized window instead.

Thanks for confirming. That's what I guessed but I wasn't sure.

True. It was a preference thing, not a major deal.
