Hiya,

A small but highly irritating niggle regarding WL taking over my system. Using WinXP SP3, and this problem has been with me since my first shot at WL14.

Game works absolutely fine, but when game is loaded into memory, my mouse is unusable for other applications - it just sits in the top left of the screen.

This is a pain in the backside, because if I want to make a slight tweak to a config file I have to exit not only the game I am playing (which is understandable) but unload Widelands completely. This isn't just for editing, but also if I want to use any other apps, such as a browser or even the clock.

Please and thank you, Adam.

Have you tried run Widelands in window mode?

I never had this problem under Linux. Sorry, I do now owe a WinXP to check.

Hiya,

I prefer full screen, but will have a go at Windowed, just to see if it fixes the problem.

Cheers.
