I set up my game to grab/release the mouse when the player left-clicks on the window. This works perfectly until I click outside of the window: after that, the cursor refuses to disable. I’ve confirmed that GLFW detects the mouse click and sets the input mode to GLFW_CURSOR_DISABLED/NORMAL successfully, but the cursor stays visible and free to move around the screen.
To make sure this wasn’t a bug somewhere in the labyrinthine depths of my engine, I made a slight change to the hello world example on the LWJGL site, then tested it on Windows 7 and Fedora 21. It works correctly under Windows, but breaks as described on Fedora. Code follows:

// Release window and window callbacks
glfwDestroyWindow(window);
keyCallback.release();
mouseCallback.release();
} finally {

glfwTerminate();
errorCallback.release();
}
}

// Center our window
glfwSetWindowPos(
window,
(GLFWvidmode.width(vidmode) - WIDTH) / 2,
(GLFWvidmode.height(vidmode) - HEIGHT) / 2
);
// Make the OpenGL context current
glfwMakeContextCurrent(window);
// Enable v-sync
glfwSwapInterval(1);
// Make the window visible
glfwShowWindow(window);
}
private void loop() {
// This line is critical for LWJGL's interoperation with GLFW's
// OpenGL context, or any context that is managed externally.
// LWJGL detects the context that is current in the current thread,
// creates the ContextCapabilities instance and makes the OpenGL

GLContext.createFromCurrent();
// Set the clear color
glClearColor(1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
// Run the rendering loop until the user has attempted to close
// the window or has pressed the ESCAPE key.
while ( glfwWindowShouldClose(window) == GL_FALSE ) {
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); // clear the framebuffer

// Poll for window events. The key callback above will only be
// invoked during this call.
glfwPollEvents();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new GrabTest().run();
}
}
Am I doing something terribly wrong? Have I fallen afoul of some GLFW quirk, or is this a bug in the library?
