There’s an option in the Projucer - “Plugin editor requires keyboard focus”. This is enabled for the Demo Plugin project but disabled by default. Does selecting this option fix the problem for you?
It appears that we’re at the mercy of the host. The JUCE Demo Host behaves in the same way as Ableton.
For a VST plug-in, for example, the only difference between having “Plugin editor requires keyboard focus” selected or not is the response to the “effKeysRequired” call from the host. So it looks like this is triggering different mouse behaviour too.
alright it’s fine for me to leave this option on. (Maybe add a small text in Projucers Tooltip explaining it) But what’s still an issue that after opening the plugin I need to click once into the plugin for any hover effects to work.(mouseMove, etc. ) I’ve tried different plugins from other non JUCE manufacturers and their hover effects work right after opening (FabFilter for example).
For all JUCE plugins that does not seem the case, is there any known hack how to do this?
