    Why does Unity stop executing my program when I click the mouse? I have seen many instructional videos where the instructor makes changes in the inspector for example and his program continues to execute. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    What are you clicking on? Can you be more specific?

    If you have "run in background" disabled (default I believe), and the game loses focus, then it will stop playing until the window gets focus again.

    If you have Error Pause enabled (I think another default setting now?) and your click action generates an error in the game while running in the editor (see the console), then the game will pause.

    If you have code in your game which on click changes timescale to 0 then the game will appear to pause.
