Hello,

I have an issue when I play the game Everquest. When I tab out of Everquest to use Mozilla Firefox on a second monitor, then tab back into Everquest, key presses including mouse presses are carrier over to the game from what I have pressed while in a browser, when I tab back into the game.

I use the function to keep Everquest focused while tabbing out so that I can retain visibility on the game while I am searching in a browser on second monitor. I am unsure if this is the cause, but I cannot operate the way I like to without this function.

Ultimately the issue is, I tab out of game to search something via browser, and any key press of the 'r' key initiates a response to the last person in game I was in tells with. So I will search something in a browser with an 'r' in it, and everything after the r is sent as a message to the last person I was sent a message from. (In Everquest pressing r responds to a message). I could fix this simply by changing the response function in game, however the key presses from out of game are still carried in, sometimes resulting in unwanted actions.

I understand the issue is most likely not with your amazing software but rather Everquest, but any help would be greatly appreciated!!

We haven't run into this issue with any other games that I know of, it sounds like Everquest is using keyboard hooks and receiving all the keystrokes even when it's not focused. Have you had this issue with any other games?

I've actually had this with another game as well, and the issue here is that in order to prevent the game window from minimizing, we have to hook the message that tells it that it lost focus. For some reason, this causes some games to still accept keystrokes :(

I've put this on our list for further investigation. It might require an overhaul of the Prevent Window Deactivation function, so unfortunately I can't offer an ETA at the moment. We will definitely post an update if/when we're able to fix it up though!
