[Suggestion][0.98] Contain cursor in window on dual monitor setup

from Elemental Forums

This has actually been around since the very first beta, but it's still annoying that when in Fullscreen mode the cursor is not contained in the window on dual monitor setups. This means that when trying to edge-scroll the cursor instead moves out of the window which is quite annoying. On top of that, if I accidentally click on the other monitor and go back the game crashes. I think this might be related to alt/tab bugs. I have included a crash report for good measure.

Crash report.

Please make it so the cursor is contained in the window on Fullscreen mode, even on dual monitor setups.

I usually notice these issues right away in games, but I have had my secondary monitor disabled to prevent this issue from occurring in another game, so I never did notice it in Elemental. At any rate, seconded. I hate when any new title ships without the ability to keep the cursor from drifting off onto the other monitor and pulling you out of your game.

Thirded. Elemental crashes when alt+tabbed/clicking on the other screen while on fullscreen etc. I wouldn't mind if there was an option to have windowed Elemental contain cursor too.

 

Fullscreen windowed with contained cursor would be awesome :D

Just turn on clipping.

Haha that's funny Kryo.   I had the same issue happen to me so I simply turned off my 2nd monitor.

 

I had no idea that "clip cursor" would fix this problem.  Maybe it should be on by default?
