"Reduced screen mode"? You mean in a window - rather than full-screen?
If yes, then this is normal behaviour - unless a) "mousehack" is running or b)
you have told E-UAE to 'grab' mouse input.
More on these:
a) mousehack is a feature which synchronizes the Amiga mouse pointer with your
window system's mouse pointer and so solves the problem you are talking
about. There are two problems with it, though. The first is that, since it's
now built into the UAE "boot ROM", you need to boot E-UAE from a emulated
hard drive - not a floppy - for it to work. The second issue is that programs
that need mouse delta movements, not absolute position, won't work too well.
To see what I mean, try scrolling an an "autoscroll" screen when mousehack is
enabled. To disable mousehack, you can switch to fullscreen mode (e.g.
F12+'s') or tell E-UAE to "grab" the mouse pointer (F12+'g').
b) When E-UAE "grabs" the mouse pointer (not supported on all platforms, BTW),
the mouse pointer cannot leave the E-UAE window. Again, this solves the
problem you're talking about, and also solves the problem above with delta
mouse movements. To release the pointer, hit '12+'g' again.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Rich
