Homecockpit Hardware related. Not in marketplace.
Context:
This bug prevents MSFS from being used in Home cockpits with undocked panels on different screens.
Only option to get such a homecockpit setup reliably running is with addon software like FSUIPC, AAOs, Mobiflight and such.

Bug description:
In game assigned controls stop working, when the mouse cursor hovers over an undocked gauge.
Repro steps:
- Start MSFS in safe mode to avoid conflicts with community content
- Assign elevator and ailerons to a joystick within MSFS
- Load any stock aircraft with glass cockpit element (TBM 930 for instance) and ensure the assigned controlls work well
- Undock a glasscockpit gauge
- Start moving around your joystick continously so that you see the inputs on your VC
- Start moving the mouse cursor over the undocked panel while continuing to move the joystick around
- As soon as the mouse is over the undocked panel the control inputs are not received/accepted by the MSFS main window. The controls “freeze” on the position they’ve been when the mouse entered the area of the undocked gauge.
- Move the mouse cursor away from the undocked gauge while still moving the joystick will lead to MSFS catching up the movements and applying it to the in-sim aircraft.
