Fullscreen mouse lock

I'm 40 years old programmer with 15 years of experience. I've worked for 9 different companies full time and countless of them as a freelancer. I developed different apps form high-load web apps with ~9000 simultaneous connections to science simulations. I've used Mac, Windows, Linux and wrote my own small OS. And yet I cannot find how to prevent mouse cursor from going out of Minecraft Windows Edition window when fullscreen is enabled. Cursor easily shows on my second and third monitor left and right. It goes up and window's title bar appears. It goes down and windows task bar appears. This piece of software has to lock cursor when in fullscreen and unlock only when menu/inventory is opened (as in any good game).

    This has been an issue for years since the windows edition came out and there has not even been any sort of acknowledgement on it, i been wanting to get back into the game but when you run two screens and every time you move around you keep accidentally pressing the taskbar or something on your other screen it gets incredibly frustrating and almost unplayable.

    the old java edition does not have this issue at all and locks your cursor to the one screen and as much as id like to play that verison i cant connect to my friends realms that are on the windows edition

    I could only hope someone sees this one day, Ive had the same issue where my cursor will fly out of the game and into the title bar and taskbar and clicking will cause the game to reload or open something else up. Truly ridiculous how a game this big has a problem like this since 2017 and wont even acknowledge it. "I have found no solution to this problem and hope Mojang or someone brings attention to this." I'm starting to loose patients.

    would like to report that this issue is still a thing. I never had this previously, but it randomly started happening after I toggled fullscreen and now it is permanent on both windowed and fullscreen.

    Its Absolutely Insane To Think That This Is Still An issue with no fix. Just appeared on my Minecraft application today. Fullscreen Leaks into Other Monitors looking up/down pauses the game due to interacting with the taskbar/application window. You can't have the game in Fullscreen due to your cursor clicking just barely off the application. This legitimately feels like a novice mistake for a game as large as Minecraft to be doing. Keeping your cursor in the game window when the game is running should be the easiest thing.

    Just started getting this problem today. Tried the lua registry edit thing but it was already enabled. I ""fixed"" it with a steam app/tool called lossless scaling. In the settings for that tool you can make it keep the mouse by enabling "clip cursor" in the menu. Hope this helps

    Same thing with me, tried 5-6 different "fixes" but nothing. Seems like a new issue within Minecraft Windows, hopefully they can fix this asap. As it effects windowed and fullscreen mode... awful QA testing something so basic

    Minecraft Support responded to my ticket about this issue:
    "I see that you are having trouble with your mouse, as it keeps getting off the Minecraft window while playing. I understand that this can be frustrating, and I will do my best to provide the available information and proper guidance to clarify the situation.

    I'd like to let you know that this is a known issue the development team is currently working on. Note that as much as we would love to provide you with a solution, this case will need additional investigation time, but our team will respond as soon as we have more information. "

    I've had this issue on and off over the years. Now, my husband is having it too! I can't believe that Mojang hasn't figured out how to screen lock the cursor?! We've been so excited to play this new update, but now we'll just have to wait and see if Mojang decides to fix this or ignore it some more.
