Mouse moving

[starfiretbt]

When I open LaunchBox the mouse cursor keeps moving to the right, but only while LaunchBox is open. What could be going wrong?

 

EDIT: I was able to fix it by restarting my computer but I would still like to know if there is an explanation why it happened or a solution that doesn't require restart.

Hi @celcius thanks for reporting this, happy to try and look into this but we'll need a bit more info to narrow things down:

- What version of LaunchBox are you on?
- Can you describe the issue in a bit more detail (or ideally provide a screen recording showing the issue in action) 
- Does this only happen within LaunchBox? Or does It happen in other applications?
- What input device are you using? Is it just a normal USB / Bluetooth mouse?

Let us know and we'll see if we can narrow things down

Hi @AstroBob,

Thanks for the offer to investigate. I'm running Launchbox 13.17 on a windows pc in a homebuilt 4-up cabinet. I'm using a Logitech wireless keyboard with a trackpad built in. It only happens in Launchbox and NOT in bigbox (which is how I usually run it) or any other app. I use UCR to emulate my 4 joysticks as xbox controllers but turning UCR on or off makes no difference. I suspected it may be one of my joysticks calibrated off slightly but this wouldn't explain why it doesn't do it on bigbox. I've attached a video but it isn't great quality sorry. I haven't tried uplougging the joysticks as I need to get in my cabinet and as I said I use bigbox normally so it hasn't been a major concern. If you need me to I can try though. I'm super busy this week so might be next week though.

Thanks for the update there. 

In LaunchBox, go to Tools > Options and then right at the bottom under Game Controllers. If you uncheck enable game controllers and see if the issue goes away, that will tell you if the input is being caused by one of your connected controllers. 

If that is the case, under Mappings, check to see what you have mapped for Mouse Left/Right. Clear those mappings and see if the issue goes away. 

The reason you likely don't see it in Big Box is either you have different mappings, or you have mouse-mode disabled (which I think it is by default). Either way, keep me posted with how you get on.

Disabling controllers stopped this, then i enabled just the main controller and the issue has resolved so i obviously have a dodgy controller in my cabinet. Thanks for the help with this! Love the application sooooo much.
