hey guys why isn´t the mouse area limited to the module area? if i make a module that is e.g. 10x10 grids per square and i move the cursor outside of the area the mouse move module continues updating instead of limiting it to the given area. perhaps this isn´t really a bug but it seems a bit unlogical to me (how can i go to coordinates x13 and y12 if my module size is only 10x10? in case that this is no bug i will appreciate if somebody could explain it to me. here´s the *.osm and a pic.

Ouch.. If this is a bug please make an option to support this kind of usage. It's handy for drag&drop 😉

Btw. If you need an area to be limited, use the max and min primitives when analysing the cursor position.

I know what you mean I was confused by that once, A good example though of were moving past is expected is the multi stage envelope, you can grab the release and move it futher that the view which is handy, means you can get a longer release without having to let go of the point and scroll across.

Cheers 😉

Also think about how you use a rotary knob. It'd be pretty awkward if you couldn't keep changing the value by continuing to drag outside the module area.
