Resolved Updating Input.mousePosition when not focused

Is it possible to keep unity updating the mouse position when unity is not the focused element? Currently when something else takes focus mouse pointer stops updating

 

EventSystem as a flag

m_HasFocus

which is set false when the canvas loses focus and in the Update loop it returns early if it's false.
I made a class that extends EventSystem and has an override for

OnApplicationFocus

that just doesnt call the base method

Code (CSharp):

1. public class BetterEventSystem : EventSystem
2. {
3.     protected override void OnApplicationFocus(bool hasFocus)
4.     {
5.         //base.OnApplicationFocus(hasFocus);
6.     }
7. }
