1.1 Game does not always resume when re-focusing window in Mac OS, freeze on focus loss
Version v1.1.0.1-652531f-xsml on Mac OS 15.7.4.
You know how the game automatically pauses when I tab to a different program? Thats great and normal. But as of 1.1 experimental about 10% of the times I focus back to the Timberborn app, the game does not resume. The Mac shows that Timberborn is the active application in the menu bar but the game does not "unpause". The music does not resume and the UI within the game are unresponsive to clicks or anything. Tabbing back and forth does nothing. I need to quit the game to get it back running. The app title bar and menu bar items are still accessible and the app isn't "not responding" or crashing. I'm not sure what would help to further reproduce this issue, but let me know.

Jon MergedWhen I am playing, shift to another program and do something, and come back, the program is frozen and will not respond to any input. I am excited about the new water pump in 1.1, so am (as usual) on the experimental branch. Running MacOS Sequoia 15.7.3.
If I just change to another program *but don't interact with it* and come back to Timberborn, it works fine. But any time where I type anything or click anything means when I come back to Timberborn it doesn't work. -

Jon HarperI see this merged, this happens 100% of the time with me. Also I can only run the game at the start if I very quickly click into the game window when it comes up. If I don't catch it, it won't take any input from keyboard or mouse.
