While alt-tabbed, the engine will continue to have input context. Clicking the mouse on the desktop will fire mouse1 ingame.
Comment 1 Chris "Lakitu7" Schwarz 2009-12-08 19:20:21 EST 
I have this too, on Win7 x64. Further, if I'm in the menus and have the window deselected but visible, the cursor follows my OS's cursor, so it's receiving mouse input as a whole, not just clicks.

Does it still happen when in_mouse is set to -1 and a vid_restart issued?
Comment 3 Chris "Lakitu7" Schwarz 2009-12-09 14:11:22 EST 
Yes. I use in_mouse -1 anyway. Vid_restart had no change.

Please give this SDL DLL a try: http://icculus.org/~tma/SDL.dll

After a few minutes of testing with that sdl.dll the bug reappears. Note it does not seem to happen every time the game is alt tabbed.
Comment 7 Chris "Lakitu7" Schwarz 2009-12-10 13:51:03 EST 
The menu mouse still consistently follows my real mouse, when trem does not have input focus. Having mouse1 fire when it's not in context isn't happening to me now but that aspect wasn't regularly occurring for me so it's hard to tell if there was a change.

Can you be more specific under what circumstances it reoccurs?
Comment 9 Tim Angus 2009-12-10 19:53:47 EST 
OK, try again, same URL. SDL_APPMOUSEFOCUS was correctly lost, but the directx driver ignored it. The windib driver shouldn't be affected.

I discussed Lakitu's comments on IRC, I think his behaviour is what we expect and nothing to worry about.

Yup, that DLL seems to have sorted the context bug. \o/
Comment 11 Tim Angus 2009-12-14 17:47:41 EST 
Fixes to this and bug #4334 are now in subversion SDL.
