mouse_x and mouse_y fail to change unless player moves

Hi,

For some reason, when I read mouse_x and mouse_y, they return the same values each time they are read (to be clear, mouse_x != mouse_y) unless I move the player first (by updating their x and y variables). This seems like very unusual behavior. Anyone experienced a similar issue or know of a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Put this code in Step Event
GML:
show_debug_message("mousex = "+string(mouse_x))
show_debug_message("mousey = "+string(mouse_y))
What appears on the screen when you move the mouse?

I discovered the origin of the issue: view_visible[0] = true. For some reason setting this to true stops mouse x from changing. Is this a bug in the software? How do I fix this issue?

I discovered the issue. I had not set the viewport size appropriately, although it seemed to still display a 1920*1080 window. In any case, setting the size of the two views I was using seemed to fix the issue
