Some players report having issues with the mouse under Linux. It's been suggested that applying the following patch to allegro would resolve the matter.
https://sourceforge.net/p/alleg/bugs/396/
I'm not well-versed in building Allegro from scratch; could one of the developers here confirm this? If it works, maybe the package on teamcity can be updated? I'm currently using the master branch from Linux on teamcity.
Since we now have allegro repository cloned into AGS project group (https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/lib-allegro), we may apply this patch there and script build server to take Allegro sources from our repository instead.
That sounds good. Could you arrange a download of these pathced allegro binaries, then I've got a group of testers on standby.
I'm pretty sure this was implemented before and it was removed, as it seemed to break the input queue rather than improve it.

There were two variants of this patch - one to patch the Allegro, and another to patch engine code. The engine patch was the one which broke the input, so it was removed in favor of using Allegro one, which works well according to reporter.

Ok, so the patch is already there. Does that also mean the compiled library is in teamcity somewhere? If not, which branch should I download and make?

No, we never added this patch to our sources; and build server still takes Allegro library from official repository.
