**Request:** Horizontal Mouse Drag for Event Parameters  
**Reason:** Event parameters are very close to the top edge of the screen. When dialing vertically, especially for long inputs (such as 0-100), the mouse clamps to the screen edge, requiring you to dial the property again to reach 100. There should be a “horizontal mouse input” option, or the ability to dial using the mouse wheel.

I’m afraid I made a mistake.

In my previous (now-deleted) post in this thread, I said that the behavior you’ve observed was a bug. I’ve since discovered that it is not. Rather, it’s the expected consequence of the mouse input mode being set to “absolute input” mode.

If you want to stop bumping into the top or bottom of the screen when clicking and dragging number boxes and dials, open FMOD Studio’s preferences window, navigate to the “Interface” tab, and set “mouse input mode” to “Relative Input (for mice, touch pads).”
