Pointer lock controls on the examples page throw an error after activating pointer lock, deactivating pointer lock, and reactivating pinter lock. This can cause the camera to also jump around to a random location.
To reproduce:
- Click on the text saying ‘Click To Play’
- Press ‘escape’ on your keyboard to unlock the controls
- Click on any part of the page other than ‘Click To Play’

This is now the leading issue at the Chromium bug tracker:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1127223
Since the current Chromium implementation is quite annoying for users, I would appreciate if everyone could upvote/star the issue in order to give it a higher priority 😇 .
The Chromium bug is now marked as fixed although the lock/unlock issue is not fully mitigated. The browser just decreased the time frame in which a unlock/lock is considered to be invalid. It’s now 1.25 seconds instead of 2. I’ve mentioned at
bugs.chromium.orgthat this solution is not satisfying however I’m not sure if the security policy will be reconsidered. If you are also affected by this issue, please request at the following site for a change:https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1127223
