Right Mouse Button rotation causes cursor to get stuck


Recommended Posts

Issue:

When browsing the craft in either the VAB or in flight with the right mouse button (click + hold + move), the mouse cursor will move to the center of the screen (even if I was on the right and moving towards the right edge) and will keep trying to move back when I move the mouse away. There is about a 10 cm (roughly 0.5 in) diameter circle that I can move the mouse before the game moves it back. If there is a menu in this area (such as from a mod), the game is unrecoverable because I cannot move the mouse to close the window and/or right click on the background (which temporarily removes this issue until I right click to rotate again).

EDIT: Problem resolved. This issue was caused by the double click to view feature introduced in 1.0.5. Disabling the feature allows the game to play as normal.

A second issue that may or may not be related is that KSP is reporting the version as 1.0.5.0 but when I look at the "build id" line in the BuildID file, it reports 1.0.5.01028. I am using the KSP.x86_64 program in the Steam KSP folder and the auto-created desktop icon. Here is an imgur album that shows what I mean: http://imgur.com/a/Bqwps

EDIT: It looks like the version numbering is a well-known issue with Ubuntu installations and the 1.0.5.01028 in the BuildID is correct.

Relevant Information

Computer: Aspire V3-572P

KSP through: Steam

KSP Version: 1.0.5.01028 (see above), fresh install through Steam, no mods. I've also deleted/reinstalled KSP to confirm it's not a local file issue.

Mouse Type: LogitechM570 wireless trackball and touchpad that came with laptop (confirmed the issue on both)

Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 64-bit

Recreating the Issue

Go into the VAB, place a root part. Then rotate around it using the right mouse button (click + hold + drag). Within ~ 10 seconds, you should see the mouse brought to the center of the screen. It will be kept there until you right click in the center of the screen.

Alternatively, install Precise Node and put a craft into orbit. Create a new maneuver node and right click any of the buttons. Within ~5 clicks, the mouse will be brought to the center of the screen and held there until you right click in the center of the screen.

This issue was not present for me in 1.0.4 with the same computer (and same install). I don't know if it was present in 1.0.5.1024 or not because I did not play the game until after 1.0.5.1028 was released. If there's anything else that would be helpful, let me know!
