Unable to interact with multiple widgets on screen at once

When I add two widgets to the screen at once, nearly identical, and set them both to display a message when I hover over the button, only one of them works. They both consist of a canvas panel with a size box and a button. I made these as an example, representative of the broad problem I have been encountering with other widgets. The bottom line is that basically any time I have multiple widgets on screen only one of them works as far as mouse interaction. I have managed to produce one test case where it works, but I cannot figure out why it works so that I can replicate it.


try not to laugh at my imitation mouse cursor.

So, when I hover over the one on the right, with the same code, it doesn’t work. Any ideas why? I am having a variety of similar problems, I have tried everything I can think of, this is just a simple example of the issue.

my guess is you have a hidden layer (the canvas maybe) blocking the other widgets, so only the top most widget is focused.

i’d suggest one canvas panel as your ‘HUD’ and and other widgets as children of it
