When a context menu is open ( right click ) and you switch to another window, a mouse down event seem to be randomly called when you hover the mouse on top of surge causing all sorts of behaviours from moving/resizing the window, dragging sliders etc..

likely a bug in juce::PopupMenu(). its like it doesnt get destroyed properly when window is set out of focus

there's a dismiss all popups call. we call it in the destructor of SurgeGUIEditor
We probably also need to call it when focus is lost on SGE
but that conditions a bit tricky to find

I can confirm some odd behaviour when resizing the main window (under linux). Intermittently, the resizing seems to remain "on" and attempting to place the cursor over the synth window remains resizing again making it smaller every time.

@landinig does it only happen when the context menu is open? or does it happen anyway?

Hi @blancoberg, sorry I am not sure, I have just been using the program for a couple of days. It seems that when I drag, let's say the 'top border' or 'top right corner' (which should put it in resizing mode) sometimes one cannot exit the resizing state and attempt to go into the main panel keeps resizing it (smaller each time!) until it completely minimises.
In case it is useful:

@blancoberg Another comment: comparing to how KDE works, the resizing state is held while the left mouse button is pressed. It seems that in Surge-XT resizing works a toggle state ? (i.e. releasing the button does not stop the resizing).
