[SOLVED] Bizarre game-breaking.

This is the most bizarre issue and is driving me crazy.

My game seems to not register any clicks or even cycles cursor modes when the mouse is within the top left corner of the screen. (it like the top left quarter of the screen to be precise). Not sure how I've never noticed this but seems to be prevalent in all of my existing builds.

I've checked all of the Gui's and there doesn't seem to be anything existing that could prevent this.

It happens in all rooms.

Pulling my hair out as this is game-breaking and I prey I don't have to start over.

Has anyone experienced anything like this at all? Really hoping that there is a solution. I've pasted an image below to better represent this issue.

Is it possible that Windows is throwing up some sort of dialog box, or that another program is trying to display a window on top? I seem to recall that in fullscreen mode, they won't actually be displayed, but will still consume mouse clicks. (This was a problem specifically with some AGS games on Steam, when the Steam client tried to display popups.)

That's interesting Snarky. I might try another PC and post back.

I would start by trying to run the game in windowed mode and see if the problem persists.

I always run it in windowed mode. I have also tried the following thus far -
changed direct3d9 to directdraw5
different filters (x2, original etc), full-screen & windowed.
enabled/Disabled side/top boarders
run as administrator (though this happens within previewing in the engine too).
increased game cache to 50mb

Still persists

EDIT - Tried on fresh PC in the house, i'm heartbroken.......

Never mind, there was a transparent UI initially on, I thought i'd checked them all but obviously not. Christ I'm a dope.

Really sorry....
