Windowed mode on Windows traps mouse

Not a Bug

On Windows 10, in windowed mode (as opposed to fullscreen) the mouse movement is weirdly trapped to the borders of the game. That's unexpected and unlike other games in window mode. The game should be in a window, that I can mouse into and out of. I should be able to drag the window around, interact with the window controls, etc. As it is currently implemented, I can ctrl+tab to another window to regain control of my mouse, but as soon as the game is the active window, I lose control of the mouse again outside the bounds of the game window. That means I can never even interact with the game's window controls.

I have the same bug

Hello,

You need to go to Options/Display and uncheck Capture mouse option.

Kind Regards

Thanks for the instant reply! That fixed it. Is there a reason that needs to be an exposed option? Just turn it off and hide it. Why would anyone ever want the mouse to be captured?
