Hitting the "Tab" key cancels "Mouse button is pressed" state #8081

Closed SPECT0R1A closed 3 months ago

SPECT0R1A commented 3 months ago

Problem description

Hitting the Tab key somehow cancels the fact that the Mouse button is pressed. In the attached project, a sprite is set to be positioned to Mouse.X/Mouse.Y when mouse button is pressed. Hitting tab cancels that state. This is annoying in a game with an inventory that opens/closes with the tab button while dragging items and creates an unwanted behavior.

Attach a .c3p

TabKey.zip

Steps to reproduce

The project only has two elements to demonstrate the effect that hitting Tab has on an event that relies on "Mouse button is down". When picking up the apple, the action is supposed to maintain the sprite on the mouse cursor, however, tab disables that event. Tested on browser mode, in fullscreen and nwjs.

STEPS:

Observed result

Mouse button down is ignored.

Expected result

Hitting tab shouldn't affect anything since there's no event calling its use.

More details

Tested on latest beta version.

First affected release:

Could you please write down the steps to reproduce the problem as written in the crash reporting guidelines?

I tried holding down the left mouse button and then pressing the Tab key, but the sprite continues to follow the cursor.

SPECT0R1A commented 3 months ago

I updated the report with steps to reproduce. Thank you @WilsonPercival

WilsonPercival commented 3 months ago

Yes, now I can reproduce. The important step was to not move the mouse.

SPECT0R1A commented 3 months ago

I made this example quickly and didn't think of a better way to demonstrate the bug but the fact is that there is absolutely no reference to the "tab" key in the events but it still affects the game.

AshleyScirra commented 3 months ago

When you press tab, focus changes to part of the browser UI. This takes focus away from the web content, and so input is lost. It's basically the same as pressing Alt+Tab and switching to an entirely different app: once you switch away that counts the mouse button as not being pressed, even if you are still holding the physical mouse button, since otherwise the input state gets stuck. The same thing is happening here and this is currently by design.
