Mac exports on steam require double click to use left mouse button

[Miziziziz]

Godot version

3.5.1

System information

macOS 13.0 Ventura

Issue description

Not sure if this is a steam issue or a godot issue, but it happens on two of my games on steam that I've tested. Can provide copies to testers if they need.

Basically if you open the game left click is unresponsive unless you click twice. The fix is to not move the mouse at all until the game menu fully loads. Notably the same bug is found in CSGO here: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/1752358461539279191/

Steps to reproduce

Open a godot-made game in steam from a macbook.
I can provide a key for one if needed

Is it an issue if you run the .app bundle directly from Finder instead of running it from Steam? It's possible that macOS Ventura broke the window activation hack again (and if Steam is running executable directly, instead of a bundle).

Also, are "semaphore" buttons in the window title bar grayed out when it's happening?

Yeah it works fine running it from the finder

Sorry what do you mean by semaphore buttons?

yes they are grayed out, and if I move the cursor outside and click the bar it fixes the problem

OK, it seems to be the same issue, but now it's manifesting when you run the executable directly even if it's bundled (on previous OS versions it was doing in only for unbundled apps and when running from terminal).

Firstly, Steam config for the game should specify the path to the bundle instead of the executable, e.g., Game.app not Game.app/Contents/MacOS/Game. This should fix the issue.

• Bad config - https://steamdb.info/app/404790/config/ (yep, Godot itself is affected), now it's fixed, change history for the reference - https://steamdb.info/app/404790/history/?changeid=16764604.
• And this one seems to be good - https://steamdb.info/app/1712390/config/ (Godot game, seems to work fine).

This is working with non-Steam shortcuts added to Steam.

Also, try the following patch (I have briefly tested it, and it seems to work, but I do not what API Steam is using, so it might need more testing).

Bad config - steamdb.info/app/404790/config (yep, Godot itself is affected).

Thanks, I just edited it to point to Godot.app directly. It still passes --path $HOME -p as arguments, will that work?

It still passes --path $PATH -p as arguments, will that work?

It should work, at least with non-Steam bundle arguments are passed correctly.

Steam version activation issue seems to be fixed. Arguments are passed, but I'm not sure what it supposed to do. Is it for self-contained mode? It's not working on macOS in 3.x anyway, and I think we decided not to fix it last time it was discussed (fixed in 4.0 - #56762).

The --path $HOME (previous $PATH mention was a typo) I think is to set the working path to $HOME, so that when you create a new project it shows you your home and not the Steam installation folder.

And -p is to force running the project manager in case you put a project.godot file in your $HOME by mistake.

Oh yeah this fixed it, thanks!
