    I want to force a repaint for an EditorWindow. Well, repaint does the job. The problem is that it does more than that. Whenever I call Repaint() and have left mouse button down, Input.GetMouseButton(0) within a MonoBehaviour starts returning false even though the mouse button is down (and Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0) never happens in between).

    I'm not sure if this applies to all unity versions. Unity version in this case is 2018.4.17f1. Is there some not-hacky way of dealing with this?

    Ok, found how to fix this with some extra logic for my purpose. When using Repaint, simply having this line of code
    UnityEditor.SceneView sceneView = GetWindow<SceneView>();
    makes the game scene's mouse input break. This happens in 2019.3 too.
