Note for windowed mode
Hey gang! I want to leave a note for something I have noticed in windowed mode. When playing on full screen, this will not happen.

Let's say you hover your mouse inside the game window, then move out by sliding to the bottom of the screen, meaning the cursor is no longer in the window. At this point, whenever a menu screen appears, the bottom element will always be highlighted first. For example, on the main screen, the new game / continue button should be focused first, but if the above occurs, the exit button will be focused instead. This happens because the last known mouse position is the bottom.

One potential solution is to lock the cursor within the game window, but I hate games/programs that do this, so it should be avoided.

To resolve this, simply let the cursor sit within the game window while you are playing. After a couple of seconds, the cursor should hide on its own. You can move it to a corner of the window to avoid focus conflicts. When something is highlighted because of your mouse, the cursor will appear again automatically to inform you. However, if the cursor is out of the window, we can no longer control it like that.

Overall, this could be me over worrying. This has been a thing for over a year, and it seems nobody caught it, or thought it was worthy of note. I only just spotted it while I was testing Clea 2. Still, good to have this fyi.

Thanks :cleahappy:!
