When I start a new game the cursor works just fine; but when I start a 
conversation with some NPC then the cursor gets trapped inside a "window" that is 
smaller than the game screen. I can't select the icons for log, items, etc, or 
check my health or temperature.

What is your version of freedroid?

0.14.1-1, installed on Ubuntu 12.04 via deb package. I tried the latest version 
too, and the problem persists.

And let me correct what I said before: the problem appears in the entire game, 
and just after the initial loading screen. But sometimes when I start the 
program, I don't know why, the problem is gone until I open a dialog.

Update: I installed Xubuntu on my notebook, re-installed the game and now 
everything works fine. Could be a problem with the Unity interface?

Are you running the game in fullscreen ?
Do you have the same issue in windowed mode ?

You are using Unity, right ? Any way to test the game with an other
window-manager (gnome-shell, kde, mate, lxde...) ?

Could indeed be.

I'm afraid none of the devs run Unity, so we are not currently able to 
reproduce the bug that you reported.

Perhaps someone (matthias ???) could check it in a VM running the last
Ubuntu release ?

I don't have anything like vm or ubuntu on my machine, sorry.

I have ubuntu with unity but it's not a pure unity. I have installed xfce. However 
I will check it tonight.

I tested on my ubuntu 12.04 with unity and I have got no problem.

I got this problem a lot when I played on windowed mode. I usually only noticed
it because I couldn't click on 'scroll down' button on the dialog mode.

This error was present on 0.14 and if I'm not mistaken on 0.15 as well. I use
gnome, but my other netbook runs unity. They all are ubuntu 12.04.

Strangely, after using git version I didn't saw anymore this bug. Not that I
could get they to often, the massive dialogs which used to force me to try to
press that button are long gone.

Is someone still having this bug ? If not, I'll close the ticket.

Maybe create a VM w/[xu|u]buntu to verify issue.

Using VirtualBox (4.3.18_Gentoo) w/ Xubuntu 14.04 (3.16.0-34-generic
#45~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP)

In "window" mode - no problems were observed in game play.
In "full screen" - cursor was uncontrollable with mouse but input to keys was
responsive.
Do not believe issue is related to VM. Will double check as well as verify with
git version.

The cursor speed must be slowed to play 
most of games which resize your 
resolution, instead of themselves.
Eg. Instead of resizing to 1280×768, it 
resizes your screen to 800×600.

Not sure if this is the case.

Window Size 1280x768 - Resolution was fine.
No "resizing" involved.

Not sure if you understood my comment... 
which was hard to understand anyway.
Play FreeDink on fullscreen and you'll 
understand. Specially if the game crash 
and you see your monitor resolution set 
to 640×480.

I understood your comment perfectly. I did not encounter what you are
describing. FreedroidRPG resolution is configurable both from the game
menu(options->graphics - restart required) or from the command line (-r99).

And what does this have to do with loss of cursor movement?

Issue with full screen and mouse cursor problem.
Found link: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122425

Confirm that starting FDRPG w/
"SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE=0 freedroidRPG -f -rX" (where x is 1 of available resolutions)
The cursor responds normally in full screen mode (acts the same as window mode).

Now to dig into the bug...

After updating xubuntu environment to latest (including installing latest mesa),
problem was not observed in 0.15.1 in either full screen or window mode.

OP originally sited problem was with previous revision but was not present in
current release. Unable to duplicate bug with latest release in xubuntu VM
environment.

Recommend close.

This bug did happened with me at Ubuntu 
12.04 on FDRPG 0.15.1, but didn't at the 
last version I used,on same environment.

Recommend closing as well, but there are 
still chances that we hear about this bug 
again.

Since nobody seems able to really reproduce and give a more precise symptom, I
close the ticket.
