Question - Code Help with mouse position behaving strangely when camera following

Geophage

I'm seeing an issue with the mouse_x value while a camera is following an object. This results in the mouse_x value sometimes being at the wrong pixel. So instead of the value staying accurate while the camera moves, it jitters.

You can see what I mean in the attached example YYZ by moving the player right into the red pixel, at which point the mouse_x value fails to update.

It's only happening when the player is on a specific pixel: 12, 24, 48, 61, 96...

Does anyone have any insight about what might be going on there?

Also attached is a reference file from GMS1.4 with the same setup, where this doesn't happen.

I've boiled this down to a simpler example, if anyone would be so kind as to take a look.

A 5x4 room with a 4x4 view and X Pos 1 shows unexpected mouse positions.

You can see in the example there's an orange pixel at 2,2. if you mouse over it, mouse_x shows up as 1,2
almost any other view settings will get expected results.

Can anyone please help me figure out what's going on here?
