I made a pause menu, but there seems to be a "dead square" in the middle of the screen, where it doesn't detect the mouse hovering. The deadzone seems fixed in size and place, moving the menu out of the center makes the problem stop. So, something invisible on top?

How the node is set up *removed externally hosted image*

The "OptionsWin" opens a new UI element, but moving it around doesn't change the deadzone, even if none of its elements are anywhere near the original pause menu.

Any ideas on how to fix this without having to offset the pause menu?

EDIT: Fix is my comment below. Should've tested it as an isolate scene first, that led me to looking into the player node and finding the problem. Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

    sigh So, I fixed it...

    Turns out the problem was in the player node structure. The pausemenu is a child of a Container. The problem was that said container had a size of 40x40, as shown on the pic below. Simply reducing it to 1x1 or 0x0 fixed the issue.

    EDIT: There was also another container, the "gameover" just below the pausemenu, that also had a square size around that same area. So, TLDR: check for any "empty" containers if you get a similar problem.
