Overlays stops responding to mouse input
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I have this problem where the overlay windows do not always respond to mouse input. My system behaves as if the overlays are not there. When I click an overlay window, the window does not capture the click event. Whatever is underneath the overlay window does register the click event.
I can still use keyboard shortcuts to do basic things like moving the overlays around, so the overlays are definitely not frozen.
edit
it seems that there is a setting named IsClickthroughEnabled that causes this behavior. I must have enabled it by accident. What's the point of this setting?

Additional info: deleting the user.config file that is inside a subdirectory of %LOCALAPPDATA%\GW2PAO\ fixes the symptoms above.
In case it helps with debugging: replace your user.config with the following values, then run gw2pao. Your overlays should now stop responding to mouse input.

</configuration>Okay, I finally figured it out. There's a setting named "Non-interactive Windows" that enables this. Not a bug.
