Suggestion: Fix Mouse Cursor Behavior When Focus Lost

[Eve-Knight]

Version Number

v0.0.6

Describe the Issue

The base game has a problem where the mouse cursor remains active outside the game window. So when users with more than one screen click while the cursor is not in the game window, the game loses focus. The user's input then goes to whatever other window they clicked on, not the game.

Steps to Reproduce

Most (but strangely not all) of the time the user uses Alt-Tab to change windows, the cursor enters this state where it becomes visible on adjacent screens when moved sufficiently right/left.

I see what you mean with this issue, if you Alt+Tab once you enter a menu, it appears to not fully capture the cursor once you make the window active again. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck yet trying to fix it.

For anyone curious, it looks like the call to USER32.ClipCursor when you make the window active during gameplay happens here:

ff7rebirth_.exe+474B0D9 - 89 45 84              - mov [rbp-7C],eax
ff7rebirth_.exe+474B0DC - 48 8B 01              - mov rax,[rcx]
ff7rebirth_.exe+474B0DF - FF 50 48              - call qword ptr [rax+48] << USER32.ClipCursor

Making the window active again while in certain menus does not call ClipCursor hence it stays in the Alt+Tabbed state of not being clipped.
