| Summary | 0007125: Mouse wheel events are noticed when AVWW is not the active window | ||||
| Description | Mouse wheel events (and mouse move events) seem to be noticed by the game even when it isn't the active window. (On OS X 10.6, at least.) This is means that random web browsing (or anything else where the mouse wheel is used) can rebind the active ability and cause problems when switching back to the game to continue playing. | ||||

Nuts! Looks like you've found another bug in unity. Naught that we can do about it since we can't even tell if the window has focus. Hopefully a future version of unity will fix one or both of these, along with a laundry list of other things. |

I thought it would be something like that. :-/ From the behaviour of the tooltips, it seems that the mouse move events get through, but the mouse cursor position doesn't change when queried. I can see a way to use that as a "do we have focus?" heuristic, but just mentioning it makes me feel dirty. |

Would it be possible to allow a keyboard modifier to the binding? I can see shift+mousewheel being almost as convenient to use as just mousewheel, but immune to the background event leakage. (I can also see it being hard to add that to the control management UI, so I don't have much hope that it'll happen.) |

"From the behaviour of the tooltips, it seems that the mouse move events get through, but the mouse cursor position doesn't change when queried. I can see a way to use that as a "do we have focus?" heuristic, but just mentioning it makes me feel dirty." Yeah, there are a lot of ways that can go wrong, especially on certain mac laptops. The cursor position has a habit of jumping to 0,0 or -1,-1 when you aren't moving the cursor _right then_, for instance, so we already have to work around that. "Would it be possible to allow a keyboard modifier to the binding? I can see shift+mousewheel being almost as convenient to use as just mousewheel, but immune to the background event leakage.
