The Powder Toy

I Think Someone's Save is a Virus.

    So this post (https://powdertoy.co.uk/Browse/View.html?ID=2786811) just popped up today.  Already on FP.  Anytime I open it The Powder Toy minimises and my mouse does weird stuff.  Here is a video of my mouse going crazy (it didn't minimize this time): https://youtu.be/XtPCioAwimw

    This is very strange behavior. Does it happen with any other saves? Does it happen with laggy saves? (Draw a bunch of thin ETRD lines and spark it and see if it happens)

    TPT Saves can't be viruses. No code gets executed when loading them. But that save does have one unique quality, which is that it's extremely laggy, and perhaps something on your PC is causing it to lose focus because the window isn't being responsive.

    It does not happen with a bunch of etrd lines (FPS at 2), or any other saves.  It's just this one.  It's weird becuase is also moves my mouse around.  It kind of freaked me out when my PC stated doing weird stuff.  Even using Sandboxie did not stop the effect.
