StaticBody3D input_event signal only firing once

Question

I have a very simple scene:

with a very simple script:

extends Node3D

func _on_static_body_3d_input_event(camera, event, position, normal, shape_idx):
	print(event)

When I run this scene and click on the cube, I get a single input event - the InputEventMouseMotion that you can see in the screenshots console. When I click on the cube I get nothing and when I mouseout and re-hover the cube I get nothing. Like the signal gets called once and then de-allocates itself. I have triple checked and I do not have ‘one shot’ enabled on the signal connection.

Is this correct behaviour? What is the correct way to handle click events on a scene?

When I use the unhandled input function, if I have multiples of this simple cube scene in a parent scene, the click event works but it gets fired for each cube in the parent scene, not just the cube that was clicked on. I swear I had this working just a week ago, might be having a brain fart. What am I missing?

Figured it out. I have an autoload scene which is game UI and the base node in that scene is a Control node which had the mouse filter mode set to stop. I changed that to ignore and now the mouse events work as normal. Weird that even that first mouse event got through…
