Hey there,

i hope it is possible for you to recreate this. I don’t have the time right now to test this in a fresh Project.

I’m using a Mobile Blank Project in which i’ve set Mouse clicks to simulate touch events.

I created a widget that with a button. This button gets the “OnPressed” event. It does some things and eventually also disables itself (So it calls Set Is Enabled on itself). After this, i can’t click anymore. Neither on buttons, scrollboxes etc in this widget, nor on other widgets or on actors in the scene. Mouse over still works though.

If i replace this OnPressed with OnClicked it works again. Seems like “OnPressed” doesn’t release the Input when it is disabled directly in the Event call.

PS: Someone on Slack commented this and i found this a pretty good explanation of what is going on:

Quote from at SlackChat:

> Ah, so OnPressed presumably fires as soon as the button is pressed, whereas OnClicked fires after it’s been released.  
> I’d say that the widget captures the  
> mouse in it’s internal OnPressed  
> handler, and then being disabled  
> prevents it from receiving the  
> released signal, so it never releases  
> capture.
