Modeler Keeps Mouse Focus
When using the Modeler it is keeping the mouse focus. When you alt-tab from
Modeler into Satisfactory the mouse does not work to look around.
You have to click into another application then into Satisfactory to get the mouse to work in game again.

Looks like it is an issue with a steam/windows and people are experiencing it without the modeler. The modeler just happens to be an app people alt-tab to a lot.

I highly doubt this has anything to do with the modeler. The modeler just makes a plain simple window and does things as standard as possible and wouldn’t have any effect on this. Does this happen when alt tabbing between 2 other steam apps? This is probably something steam is doing or your operating system. You can also run the modeler directly, not through steam although the cloud sync may not work and updates may be delayed.
