PLEASE fix this problem, I am so tired of the mouse pointer showing up in battle and then switching programs when I go to fire , thus dropping me out of the game and back to the deck top.

Clicking on a program and then back to the game almost never works as a solution.

My wife is tired of me yelling at the computer,please FIX IT.

No, I have 2 27" monitors and wish the game community supported that type of play.
I only play full screen

G force 560

Just wait till UI 2.0 and CW. They are rebuilding the UI from the ground so dont expect any bug fixes for this build.

I have had this issue, I've also heard other complain about it. It seems to me that it happens when you have clicked on your 2nd monitor or alt-tabed while the map is loading. A friend of mine thinks it occurs when you have alt-tabed out of the game too many times.

I normally relaunch the client every so often and it seems to happen less if ever.

Nope, i tested with only one monitor connected to my gpu and the problem stil happens. Ive been having the most succes when clicking launch and not moving the mouse anymore untill your in the mech cockpit.

I am having this issue off and on myself now. Only restarting the client clears it up. I do not play in windowed mode, and it started after the "hotfix" the other day.

Very frustrating.

Seems to only occur when you are loading into the game and alt tab out then back in. Don't alt tab out on loading. Wait until you are actually in control of your mech to alt tab out.

One of the moments when mouse "locks" to wherever it is - is precisely when initial scoreboard disappears (right before match starts).
You absolutely want to be in your main (game) display with your mouse pointer when that happens - or you will end up with mouse getting locked to the whole desktop and being able to veer to secondary display.

I'm also very annoyed by this bug and it's been there for like 8 months at least.

Also I think using windowed maximized helps to somewhat reduce the problem's severity.
I mean, it will still happen, but a simple click out of mwo window and back in will "lock" the mouse, unlike fullscreen. It's still annoying though.

EDIT: clarified the bug's occurence.
