Mouse axis not working

Unity Engine
,

Hi,

I have installed the package on Xubuntu 14.04. My project can be loaded and launched on Linux. Great work, I am happy to see it happen.

However, mouse axis (Input.GetAxis(“Mouse X”) etc.) do not work. For instance in the MouseLook script in the FirstPersonController asset.
Mouse buttons are working.
The mouse is also working for the UI.

On a new project, the following script attached to the main camera display always values equal to zero.

void Update () {
    Debug.Log("Input mouse X " + Input.GetAxis("Mouse X"));
    Debug.Log("Input mouse Y " + Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y"));
}

The same problem on Ubuntu 14.04.3

Same on Ubuntu 15.04.
It works when I unfocus the game window, like clicking somewhere else in the editor. It should be the other way around.

but, when you Build the game, Mouse Axis will working normaly,.

Hi,
Further details about this bug, after some experimentations:

In the editor:

  • launch the game : get axis does not work
  • click somewhere else in the editor
  • put the mouse over the game windows: get axis work (only when the mouse stay over the windows), but the keyboard does not.
  • click again to focus the game window: mouse does not work, keyboard does.

Moreover, CursorLockMode.Locked never work.

As said Stoopers, the mouse works correctly when the game is Built.

It is probably a bug in the input events dispatcher in the editor.

We’ll investigate - thanks!

Issue seems partially fixed for me on manjaro. GetAxis works - but choppy like it’s not updated every frame. Anyone can confirm this for other distro’s (especially ubuntu based ones)?

I can confirm. It kinda works but not perfectly. Also, Input.GetMouseButton (0) never returns true.
