Bug: Blish not reacting to mouse interaction (click, drag, scroll, ...) but keyboard

[Taschenbuch]

• what
  • mouse: blish becomes unresponsive to mouse interactions: clicking the corner icons, clicking or dragging or interacting with blish windows with the mouse (doesnt matter if it is a blish core or module window).
  • Keyboard interactions seem to continue to work. I could close a fore ground blish window with ESC. And if i remember correctly, back then i could type in blish window textboxes when they had the focus. But i am not 100% sure (it is 1 year ago that i actively played gw2). I am not sure if hotkeys to show/hide module windows still worked either.
  • system tray icon is still responding: its context menu can be opened etc.
  • reports: there was a thread about this issue in the discord, but i cannot find it anymore. maybe it was in the now hidden bug reports channel. It was rarely reported by others too, if i remember correctly. That triggered the creation of that thread.
  • duration: The bug seems to be able to fix itself after a while. Maybe due to more switching between gw2 and other windows or clicking around. But because "after a while" can lasts minutes, in most cases i shut down blish and started it again to fix this bug. UPDATE: i was able to fix it every time now by doing a right click somewhere INSIDE the gw2 window.. After that blish reacted to mouse clicks again. A right click OUTSIDE of the gw2 window, does NOT fix the issue.
• cause
  • Might be caused by tabbing in/out of gw2 or rather by simply giving something else the focus, e.g. a web browser on the 2nd monitor while gw2 continues to run on the 1st monitor.
  • mouse hook: it was mentioned that mouse hook failing/stopping to work might be the cause
  • This bug happened to me on 2 Laptops and 1 PC. With windows 10 and windows 11. It even happened after I moved house and switched my ISP. But I mainly use a Corsair mouse with the Corsair ICue Mouse software.
  • debug: I am not 100% sure, but I think it does not happen when debugging a module with visual studio. UPDATE: happens when debugging a module with visual studio too.
• affected blish versions
  • unknown. Probably at least since July 2021, because that is when i joined the blish discord aka I was using Blish. I always had this issue with blish.
  • Affected versions: 0.11.4 - now (1.1.1)

I can manage to get blish responding again by right clicking in the window. Somehow the mouse hook seems to think the right mouse button is pressed which filters out everything else.

I thought I was the only one :)
