Screen locking mouse into output window

General

Hi All
Has anyone else experienced this…?
I’m using a HDMI output of a laptop for my output screen.
I’m using stable version of 2.2 server and this config:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <paths>
    <media-path>media/</media-path>
    <log-path>log/</log-path>
    <data-path>data/</data-path>
    <template-path>templates/</template-path>
    <font-path>font/</font-path>
  </paths>
  <lock-clear-phrase>secret</lock-clear-phrase>
  <channels>
    <channel>
      <video-mode>1080p5000</video-mode>
                       <consumers>
        <screen>
          <device>2</device>
          <windowed>false</windowed>
        </screen>
        <system-audio/>
      </consumers>
    </channel>
  </channels>
  <controllers>
    <tcp>
      <port>5250</port>
      <protocol>AMCP</protocol>
    </tcp>
  </controllers>
  <amcp>
    <media-server>
      <host>localhost</host>
      <port>8000</port>
    </media-server>
  </amcp>
</configuration>

and when I launch Caspar, my mouse pops over to the screen which has the Caspar output window on it and I cant move it back to the other screen.

If I alter the config to include the line true then it seems to work OK.
Just wondered if its an issue or not?

I’ve experienced the same thing. Assuming you’re on Windows 10, I just alt+tab over to a window on the main display and it stops. I’m not sure why this happens.

So it does! Good find!

Is there a bug fix for this anyone?

Hello!
Same problem here. The only solution i find is the same as cjdenio says. press Alt+Tab, and it goes to other windows apps. But be careful, if you click again on the server app, the problem comes back again. I have this problem on a windos 10 machine, Gtx1070, and server 2.3.0.

SteveElk … In wich line of config do you put “true” ?

Any solution to this problem will be welcome.

Thanks everybody!

Probably not a useful fix for you I’m afraid.
For me true didnt cause the problem, but then you get a window around your output. It was OK for me as it was a test environment.
I’ve not seen the problem in newer builds tbh.

Hi all!

I’ve downloaded the last build (24-3-2021) and the same problem still is there.

It seems the same problem as when you run an application or game that takes exclusive control of the display in full screen mode You cannot go out of this screen (Only with ALT+TAB and changing the active app). Could it be a question of windows?

anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!
