Hi,  
I have an Issue with my client (in windowed mode) where as soon as I hold down the left mouse button down and move the mouse (even a little bit) the screen will do a 360 spin around my ship before behaving normally. This happens in the station as well as in space, and also makes the rotary menu useless. Full screen works fine.

```
Linux Mint 20.2
Mesa 21.0.3
Kernel 5.4.0-81
Steam Proton GE 6.14-GE-2

```

Any Tips from you Linux Pros would be appreciated

well after poking around a bit I have found that having the window all the way to the left of the screen fixes the issue.

Is it a similar case?  
Is it different because it doesn’t depend on the position of the window or the full screen and the window?  
Two abnormalities  
・ Window size adjustment  
・ Screen that rotates at high speed

I’m having a hard time not knowing the cause  
It won’t be a game

so so far with the EVE Online mouse issues (in windowed mode) I have found  
-Proton-6.14-GE(-1 and -2) and Proton-6.16-GE have this issue  
-lutris has this issue even with e-sync toggled and other mouse settings changed  
-lutris with wine staging installed and set as the wine version works without issue  
-dosn’t happen when the window is in the top left corner  
-lutris defult wine is “lutris-fshack-6.14-3-x86\_4”  
Could my issue be the full screen hack in wine?

well today steam did a small update to eve and broke everything.  
Didn’t try Proton 5.0 but that’s on borrowed time anyway.  
I will be playing eve in lutris with wine staging.

I have the same problem. I was able to play without a problem with proton 5 but since yesterday i only can play with Proton-6.16-GE, i still have to try with wine staging to see if the windowed problem is still there. I guess that we have to wait for steamplay to update to wine 6.16.
