<li>Operating System (Platform and Version): Mac OSX Mojave</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Expected Behavior</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">There should be an option to accept mouse events when a window is unfocused.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Actual behavior</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">WIndows don't accept any hover CSS states or events while unfocused.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Additional Information</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">I know about this ticket: <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="106677921" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/2797" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/electron/electron/issues/2797/hovercard" href="https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/2797">#2797</a>, but it was already closed and I'm not sure why. It's actually a requirement for desktop apps that want to feel native, as electron hopes to provide.</p>
<p dir="auto">I understand this would need to be enabled in Chromium, hoping to hear if there's been any progress here, perhaps the latest builds enable it, or even just tips on where to look to make these changes.</p>
<p dir="auto">Repro:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li>Add something with a hover style in CSS</li>
<li>Focus another window</li>
<li>Hover over the unfocused Electron window</li>
<li>Usually the hover style will be seen for a split second before disappearing</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">This sounds like a small thing, and it is - but it's actually quite frustrating in our particular UI as we have buttons that appear on hover which you accidentally click when focusing. It also <em>looks</em> buggy as the hover style visually flashes.</p>
<p dir="auto">Note: On Windows this works as expected, showing the hover styles in the Electron window continuously even when unfocused.</p>
