Reproduction Steps
I personally cannot repro this, but I’m fielding a lot of reports from Twitter that cursors are breaking while using guns in Jailbreak (and in other gun based games!) since mid Wednesday.
A history of tweets both showcasing and talking about the problem:
Expected Behavior
Cursors are being locked to the same part of the screen, they should be centered.
Actual Behavior
The cursor is being locked to an off-center part of the screen seemingly at random.
Workaround
There is no workaround.
Issue Area: Engine Issue Type: Other Impact: High Frequency: Sometimes Date First Experienced: 2022-01-05 16:01:00 (-07:00) Date Last Experienced: 2022-01-05 00:01:00 (-07:00)
I experienced this in New Haven County when playing in first person - the cursor goes up and to the left for some reason. In addition, this also came after the weird UI change that I wish you had an option to toggle on/off.
are you using windows? mac? i played badimo’s monument game and experienced the issue first there while i was bored. it really made the game unplayable, could possibly repro there
Not just combat games, all games, in other words, even the newly created baseplate
Also
This isn’t leading to the mouse bug
Roblox was updated 3 days ago, the chat was revamped, in that Roblox Update this bug started to appear
And
It first started to show on Microsoft App, later to other apps
I’ve use Microsoft Edge for Roblox website, and its not about app, its about Roblox Engine, roblox engine itself is showing this bug, this is not a website bug
I tried to lanuch roblox client using Chrome App, and it seems fine, now this bug appears in Chrome App too
The font looks different due to a change in the DPI scaler that seems to break long-time expected and relied-upon functionality. Clearly, the font changes seem to be visible to all users. It does also affect UI scale for people with higher DPI settings.
Case in point, here’s how things looked before the update/flag was enabled:
As far as I’ve been able to tell, any such change in behaviour may be related to this change in scaling functionality (it does affect cursor/pointer scale and range) and is definitely something to be looked into. In my view the change in function on a whole feels like a bug (or like it shouldn’t have made it past QA…), but that’s just me.

This bug is not new, if we look into old threads it was reported 3 years ago. ROBLOX Still hasn’t fixed it and probably won’t fix it
was brought back yesterday, but the thread was made in '19
[EDIT] : Apparently changing your scale via windows resolution to “100%” will fix it but i do not recommend it to big monitor users : everything will be small.
Can vouch it is happening in ER:LC. I have seen reports from years ago, though it is only recently that we’re getting a decent amount of players reporting similar things. Attached is a video from one of our players demonstrating the bug. It is not happening 100% of the time and we have not made any edits to the gun system nor any mouse behavior changes.
