[Linux] Cursor not locked to window / can't edge scroll
Linux
Steam
What is your game version?

Do you have Space Race installed?
Yes
Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
The cursor isn't locked to the window, so I can't scroll to the right properly. When I try, my cursor just goes outside the window (on to my other monitor), and the camera doesn't move.
On the Windows version of the game, I can get around this by using the "Exclusive" video mode, but it doesn't seem to be an option on the Linux game.
It seems to have a pretty difficult time detecting the edge of the window/screen. If I carefully hold my cursor close to the edge, but not over it, the camera will move properly, but that's really frustrating, and I shouldn't have to do that.
Also, this whole mess could be avoided by providing a method of camera scrolling with the mouse besides edge scrolling. In most games you can hold the right or middle mouse button to move the camera, but neither works in Surviving Mars, even with the "Right-click Action" set to "Move Units." I really hope this feature does not continue to be unavailable in the future. No one should be forced to use a keyboard in a point and click game.
Apparently I can't post this without an attachment, so here's the log file. I'm actually using about 25% of my system RAM, not 96% like the log files says. I don't know why it is reporting such a high number.
Can you replicate the issue?
1) Start the game
2) Start tutorial (or new game, or load a game)
3) Move mouse cursor off the right hand side of the screen.
