Odd problem reading the mouse (NOT the move/drag problem)

Hello all,
Strange problem I'm having. In short, neither the t2dSceneWindow.getMousePosition() function nor the t2dSceneWindow::onMouse[x]() callback are working for me:
* getMousePosition always returns the same x, y coords even though the mouse is sending x and y axis delta values (this is when I bind the mouse to a custom callback).

* onMouseMove (or down, or whatever) is simply never invoked, although the t2dSceneWindow object is valid. This has been verified with trace().

I've been asking Professor Google for some kind of clue, but so far, no dice. Anyone seen this before?

Hmmm... it appears as if the t2dSceneWindow object, while valid, is not being bound correctly to something or another. None of the t2dSceneWindow callbacks are being triggered, whereas the t2dSceneObjects under it are behaving as expected.
The plot thickens...

I am seeing almost exactly this same behavior
I'm playing in the 2D Strategy tutorial and I am also not getting any of the mouse callbacks invoked.

Interestingly, however, if I call GetMousePosition from the console it does give different values as the mouse is moved.

I need to check to confirm, but I think mouse events are handled differently in the beta 2--more cleanly, in that you can have objects receive callbacks from the mouse directly instead of through the sceneWindow if you like.

I'll ask Matt to take a look at the tutorial on Monday.

Well, updating to beta 2 has cleared up the problem, at least for me. But thanks for checking!
