Sometimes, when disableUserInput true command is invoked while the user is holding a button, when disableUserInput false is called and the user is no longer holding the button, the input will resume as if the user is still holding the button. To reset this behaviour, disable and enable user input again in the same frame:
disableUserInput true; //do something disableUserInput false; disableUserInput true; disableUserInput false;
Unfortunately, if the user is moving mouse when disableUserInput true command is invoked, the mouse input will get stuck for the whole duration of disabled user input but will reset as soon as disableUserInput false is called. I was unable to find workaround for this one.
UPDATE: There is now userInputDisabled command, which allows one to check if user input is still disabled after enabling it, so that one can retry until enabling is successful.
