No

When popping out a touch screen instrument such as the G3X or the TBM’s GFC580 touch screen, we could use a mouse to control said instrument. The instruments no longer respond to mouse events.

I can reproduce the same issue on my side with the GTN750.
If I pop out a cockpit instrument, I have no mouse events. If I pop out the GTN750 toolbar panel I have the mouse events.
We can also see that the touch screen events are still not sent to the popped-out windows (for both panels and cockpit HTML instruments).
We would hope to have this feature in SU10 but it’s unfortunately not here. They are probably blocked at some coherent level and unblocking them would be easy and a great improvement for home cockpits.

I can reproduce this as well. Just loaded up in king air and right + alt to pop out the panel. Then the mouse click becomes inop. Also can reproduce in the tbm as well.

It would appear that this might be fixed with today’s 1.27.11.0 update. Will test later and report back.

I can confirm this has now been fixed.

Thank you!
