WinVSTs grabs focus on mouseover

acebone · 04-19-2020, 04:44 AM

Hi

I'm using a number of winVSTs through linvst. It works quite nice, however - when I have a winplugin window open, it grabs the focus on mouseover, and that's really irritating.

I've searched for a way to tell Wine that I want windows focused when I click on them, not when I accidentally mouseover them, but I can't find anything.

Anyone experiencing the same - and know how to change it?

Same here when I load up Spitfire LABS App to add a new free instrument. The mouse cursor dissapear under. SINE Player with the free Ochestral Tools Layer do the same thing. Not when I load it up in Reaper, but the standalone app.

Hope that's what you mean

No, I can't run the standalone apps - can't make wineasio work on my system, so this problem is with plugins running inside Reaper.

They'll grab the focus and put themselves on top of everything else.

The Focus is done that way because some want keyboard input.

To disable it, read https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/tr...r/Remove-Focus

Turning it off means that keyboard input won;t be available.

Thnx osxmidi, dunno if I want to loose keyboard, but at least I know why things are like they are now
