COG 8.0.0 linux
Ubuntu Studio 8.04 64-bit and Zenwalk 6.0 32-bit
I think it makes more sense to say what's my guess about the cause first: the cursor movement from the game affects the cursor movement from the desktop (even if Locomotion runs full-screen). This causes problems when scrolling the map by using right-click and mouse-dragging.
Issues:
1) when the cursor reaches one boundary of the window, you cannot scroll the map in that direction any more. While this makes sense considering the mouse coordinates, it doesn't make sense for the game behaviour (you need to be able to scroll infinitely)
2) this only applies when the game is running in a window: when scrolling with right-click, after the cursor steps out of the window, the scroll in-game goes totally crazy (amplified by a huge count)
I forgot to mention that when you hold right-click for scrolling the map, the cursor is hidden, so it definitely shouldn't change position.
From a user's point of view, I believe a fix would involve stopping the desktop cursor being affected as long as in-game right-click is pressed for scrolling the map (as is on Windows).
Should I post this in the ticketing system? (I'm new here, don't know the rules)
