Hi, everyone. I’m having some trouble with inputs…

Area2D set as pickable receives mouse events as expected until I set it as a child of a CanvasLayer. I’m really stuck here, any thoughts?

I think the CanvasLayer is only supposed to hold UI elements, such as control Nodes rather than physics types such as Rigid Body and Area 2D.

Yeah, that is what it seems like.
