Editor pause when open a menù

Unity Engine
1

If i play a scene in the editor, and after i click an editor menù (for example File or Window), the scene are paused.
Note: ‘Pause’ button is not in a pressed status. Player settings already have “Run as background”.

How i can avoid that?

I’m writing a plugin that mirror the desktop in the VR over a texture.
In VR i can interact with inspector, scene view etc, but when i click a menù, Editor will pause, and with HTC Vive the dashboard are showed because Unity don’t render anymore until the menù it’s closed.

Thanks for any feedback.

This is what i mean:

I filled a bug-report. With “Run in background” Unity still play also if i switch to another app, but not if i open a context menu inside Unity itself.

If the scene use VR, HTC Vive switch to Compositor until the context menu is open, and return to scene when it’s closed.

I absolutely need to resolve this issue, any suggestion is very very appreciated. Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem for exactly the same feature :smile:.

It’s amazing to developing my game from within my game, It saves me so much time.

Unfortunately, any right clicking on the editor, resizing a pane, or toggling a select box freezes my game, making the feature I made very limited.

Is there any way (a setting, some scripting…) that can help me circumvent this functionality?
