Question

Can someone please help me understand how to stop the mouse from going back to the center of the screen? This is all the code needed to re-create. In video to exaggerate issue I use a autoclicker on right mouse button 5ms delay.

var mouseRestorePos: Vector2
var rightClkHeld: bool = false

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
    if event is InputEventMouseButton:
        var mb: InputEventMouseButton = event
        if mb.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_RIGHT:
            if mb.pressed:
                rightClkHeld = true
                mouseRestorePos = get_viewport().get_mouse_position()
                Input.mouse_mode = Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED
            elif rightClkHeld:
                rightClkHeld = false
                Input.mouse_mode = Input.MOUSE_MODE_VISIBLE
                Input.warp_mouse(mouseRestorePos)

there may be some issue with windows taking a frame to un-capture the mouse, try using .call_deferred?

rightClkHeld = false
Input.mouse_mode = Input.MOUSE_MODE_VISIBLE
Input.warp_mouse.call_deferred(mouseRestorePos)

This thread is similar with some other recommendations

I tried some things like deferred and await process_frame but no luck.
Ran your suggestion with auto clicker same issue.

I had idea to do mouse mode invisible and never use captured.
Then just track the mouse and put my own icon over the hidden one, but was trying to avoid this idea.

Your video shows using _input2 which is not a valid override, so you were only demonstrating the old code. The last few posts in that thread I linked has some fairly dire solutions such as while distance_to_old_position < 15: warp and await a frame; but this is still worth a try before making a virtual mouse icon.
