 First, thank you for the "compatibility mode" for ignore deactivation and lock mouse. It works perfect with "The Witcher" (previously these hotkeys did not work with this game).

But there is a problem: Setting "Ignore Deactivation" to true, disables "Lock mouse".

If it start "The Witcher" (fullscreen) and then press the hotkey for "Lock mouse" I can lock (and unlock) the mouse in the witcher window  .
But if i then press the hotkey for "Ignore Deactivation" (which works fine), the mouse is unlocked (if it was previously locked in the window) and pressing the hotkey for "Lock mouse" does not change the setting any longer.
If i then deactive "Ignore Deactivation" using the hotkey, the "Lock mouse" hotkey again works.

This problem also occurs when using the startup options (make a specific window setting for the witcher) and not the hotkeys:
If you check only "Lock Mouse" then the Witcher starts and the mouse is locked in the window  .
If you check only "Ignore Deactivation" then the Witcher starts and it ignores deactivation.
If you check both, then it ignores deactivation, but the mouse is not locked in the window  .


And just a small note:
Checking the "Compatibility mode" for "Lock mouse" disables this functionality in some programs completely (Windows Explorer, Notepad, VLC Media Player, ...). I don't need this functionality in this programs, but maybe the compatibility setting should be a window specific setting (if possible).

Windows XP 32-bit, AWM 7.0

Best Regards.

- The problem has been confirmed. We'll try to fix this.

- Could you clarify what exactly "Compatibility mode" are you writing about?

Best regards.

I can confirm this problem is solved in AWM 7.1 Beta 2 :)

I am talking about the checkbox "Compatibility mode" under "Hotkeys" -> "Actions" -> "Lock Mouse".
I have to activate this checkbox to make this hotkey work within "The Witcher".
The downside is, that with this checkbox activated, the hotkey no longer works in some applications where it worked before (Windows Explorer, Notepad, VLC Media Player).

Best Regards.
