 when in-game, and does not release it when a breakpoint is reached, trapping you
 in the locked game. One solution to this is to disable mouse grabbing in the
-code:
-
+code. In the file src/libraries/core/input/InputManager.c, there is a function
+LoadDevices. The part shown below grabs the mouse and keyboard:
+{{{
+if (CommandLineParser::getValue("keyboard_no_grab").get<bool>())
+    paramList.insert(StringPair("x11_keyboard_grab", "false"));
+else
+    paramList.insert(StringPair("x11_keyboard_grab", "true"));
+    paramList.insert(StringPair("x11_mouse_grab",  "true"));
+    paramList.insert(StringPair("x11_mouse_hide", "true"));
+}}}
+Change all the 'true' values to 'false' here to disable mouse/keyboard grabbing
+altogether. This makes the game awkward to play, but when it runs into a breakpoint,
+you can freely move your mouse focus out of the game and into the GDB window.
