Having a window open in front of the editor will still highlight assets in UE4

Development Programming & Scripting

Not sure if this is really a very minor bug or a feature, but I just thought to bring it to someone’s attention. Maybe there is something wrong with my settings?

Having any window open in front of the editor, and moving your mouse around will highlight assets/buttons in the editor even though it is not the current active window.

Hi ,

Which version of the editor are you using?

I am currently using 4.6, but this was also happening with 4.5. Is it just me? I should also stress that it only highlights, doesn’t actually click through the different windows.

  1. Open any project in editor (full size window, or just bigger than the window in the next step)
  2. Open Chrome (or any other window), not full size, on top of the editor. Place the edge on top of half of the content browser
  3. Move mouse over towards the content browser (while still in chrome) and see the assets highlight.

Simple as that. I took a screen shot to show you how it looks. The red “x” is where my mouse was.

Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this on my end. Can you tell me what steps you take to recreate this?
