UI not receiving mouse events? 5.6.0f1

This worked for me, too. Before (even using 5.6.2f1) the mouse got non-responsive when switching to full screen. With the patched player this is no longer the case

 

Ok, the additional fix is scheduled for 5.6.2p3. (There's also no problem with using the patched build for 5.6.2f1.)

 

This fix is working for us as well. Thanks for providing it ahead of the official patch release!

 

It seems it is still there, I'm using Unity 2017.1.0f3, everything works fine on Windows. I made a build for Linux and sent it to a friend, he tested it on 2 different systems. On both buttons didn't work in fullscreen mode. On 1st one he hadn't pre-game settings window at all and couldn't switch to windowed mode using Alt+Enter. On 2nd one he had pre-game window and in windowed mode buttons worked fine.

 

Sigh, you're right - the last fix didn't land in time for 2017.1.0.
It will come in an upcoming patch release, or you can use http://files.unity3d.com/levi/LinuxStandaloneSupport-2017.1.0f3+input-hotfix.zip

 

Tried unity 2017.1.0p3 from 11 August 2017. On build for Linux buttons didn't work in fullscreen mode. On unity 2017.1.0p4 the same problem.

 

Same Problem here. It does work on my Linux machine but not on the Linux machine steam tested it for me so they did not allow me to release the game in this state. Cannot experience this bug on any of my Linux builds. But Steam staffs seem to have the bug...

 

Do you have a build I can test?

 

I have this problem using Unity 2017.1.0p4

It works if I code the game to start first in windowed mode. Although I have noticed that pretty much on any platform
if you use Screen.SetResolution(maxResolution.width, maxResolution.height, false). Meaning you try to put the game in max resolution windowed mode it will not work. On windows the whole game window simply vanishes.

So I have to use Screen.SetResolution(maxResolution.width - 1, maxResolution.height - 1, false)

Anyway. I have fixed the issue on linux by forcing the game to start in windowed mode first, then waiting two frames and making the game full screen again. For some reason there needs to be a wait for two frames or otherwise the game screen starts blinking really fast. When the game is started this way the mouse will register input.

 

For those of you reporting the issue with 2017.1.0p4 - are you very sure that you don't have existing, corrupted preferences from an older build?

 

Sorry for the stupid question, but how can i use is in my project? I tried to find some explanation how to install hotfixes like that, but couldn't find anything useful.

Update:
Ok, solved. Thanks a lot for this fix. I had just to put it in the right folder ..\Unity\Editor\Data\ and not ..\Unity\Editor\Data\UnityExtensions\Unity\

 

This issue is still not fixed? Running 2017.3.1f1 and when it opens full screen in the Linux build, no input of any kind works, not mouse or keyboard. Should I try that hotfix above? What do you do with it? Just unzip the whole thing into the \Unity\Editor\Data\ folder?

 

applied the Hotfix and it just makes a bunch of errors pop up in the console and then Unity crashes

 

That hotfix won't work with Unity 2017.4.
We'll triple-check Unity 2017.4 again...

 

So... my game ran fine (2017.1 universal linux build) on 16.04, but Steam doesn't work on 16.04 so I upgraded to 18.04, now mouse clicks don't do anything. I've placed the 2017.1.0 patch in the Editor/Data folder, though I don't see where it says I'm supposed to do that other than woau's post.

Could we get a little more organization here? Is this not as wide-spread as it sounds? I really am not enjoying Linux thus far, but there are players waiting for it. Building now, I guess if this works no biggie.

or
http://files.unity3d.com/levi/LinuxStandaloneSupport-2017.1.0f3+input-hotfix.zip

go into the Unity/Editor/Data folder prior to building and that fixes it? And you're out of luck for other versions?
I tried launching mousetest17.4 in Ubuntu and it said no application was available to run it?

On a side note... I assume related to that patch? My x86 and x86_64 files are now listed as last modified August 8th, 2017, even though they're listed as created June 18th, 2018??

additional: the 2017.1.0 patch did fix the problem for me in Ubuntu 18.04. Game seems to be running without problems now.

 

I am having the same exact issue. None of my GUI buttons work when my game is full screen on Linux. I've tried triggering then unsing a couple different techniques to no avail. I'm using 2018.2 beta 11.

Edit: Okay, now I've also found that Input.KeyDown also doesn't work on Linux while the game runs in full screen, so I don't think it's just the GUI. (I tried adding key commands for the menu options as a workaround, thinking that would be a decent solution...) For whatever reason, Input.GetMouseButtonDown does work.

Edit edit: Okay, so I set the fullscreen mode setting in player settings to exclusive fullscreen, which seems to have fixed the issue!

 

On 2018.1

Any ideas what's up?

 

That's the thing. I just so happened to still be running on 2017.1 which one of the two patches I found in this thread was for... what about the rest of, everyone? I'm not going to upgrade Unity if I can't publish to Linux anymore after I do...?
@Tak

 

Running on 2018 now and looks like the Linux UI bug is fixed

 

Seems to still be popping up for some people in some instances. What version are you running @etaxi341 ?

I only had the problem on Ubuntu 18.04 and not 16.04 as well, which is troubling.

 

Our game has the same problem, built with Unity 2017.4.7, occuring on major linux distros like Ubuntu 18.04. It can be worked around by most users either by running the game in window mode or by switching to another app and switching back to the game.

Still, this issue keeps popping up in multiple threads across our forum and it would be very nice of Unity to get this fixed on the LTS stream.

 

Also, could a dev from Unity give us a status quo/update on this how unity wants to deal with this matter?
@Tak ?

 

This is still occuring with Linux builds using Unity 2017.4.9 - please Unity devs fix this on the LTS stream. Our linux users were all complaining about this.

We may found something to help understand the issue. For our users, this seems to be related with the "Application not responding" dialogue, which is triggered very aggressively on most Linux distros nowadays (especially Ubuntu 18.04). In window mode, you see that dialogue and as long as you don't click that dialogue away, the game does not get any mouse input. What happens when your start the game in fullscreen though is that you do not get to see that message but it is still there. This can be easily demonstrated as the UI elements do not respond to your mouse but the game gets closed instantly when you press enter (which triggers the not responding dialogue to kill the app). So that seems to be the cause of this.

 

Thank you for the detailed response.

Is there something we can do on our side? We are already loading scene files asynchronously, but that still seems to stall the main thread.

 

On Ubuntu 18.04, it doesn't.
