Mouse Lag in Prefab

[reepblue]

If you edit the FirstPersonControls component to with the below, then create a prefab using it, the mouse look will be sluggish. I've spent 4 hours last night trying to figure this out and I can confirm this is a bug with the prefab system. If you were to assign this to an entity normally, it'll work fine. 

The Raw mouse code tends to work ok regardless. 

#pragma once
#include "UltraEngine.h"
#include "FirstPersonControls.h"

using namespace UltraEngine;

{
	name = "FirstPersonControls";
}

void FirstPersonControls::Start()
{
	auto entity = GetEntity();
	entity->SetPhysicsMode(PHYSICS_PLAYER);
	if (entity->GetMass() == 0.0f) entity->SetMass(78);
	entity->SetCollisionType(COLLISION_PLAYER);
	camera = CreateCamera(entity->GetWorld());
	camera->SetPosition(0, eyeheight, 0);
	camera->SetRotation(0, 0, 0);
	camera->SetFov(70);
	currentcameraposition = camera->GetPosition(true);
	freelookrotation = entity->GetRotation(true);
}

void FirstPersonControls::Update()

	Vec3 movement;

	{

		auto cy = Round((float)window->GetFramebuffer()->GetSize().y / 2);
		auto mpos = window->GetMousePosition();
		window->SetMousePosition(cx, cy);
		auto centerpos = window->GetMousePosition();

		if (freelookstarted)
		{
			float looksmoothing = mousesmoothing; //0.5f;
			float lookspeed = mouselookspeed / 10.0f;

				mpos.x = mpos.x * looksmoothing + freelookmousepos.x * (1 - looksmoothing);
				mpos.y = mpos.y * looksmoothing + freelookmousepos.y * (1 - looksmoothing);
			}

			auto dx = (mpos.x - centerpos.x) * lookspeed;
			auto dy = (mpos.y - centerpos.y) * lookspeed;

			freelookrotation.x = freelookrotation.x + dy;
			freelookrotation.y = freelookrotation.y + dx;

	float eye = eyeheight;

I am guessing there is somehow two active components being updated, which causes the mouse to be moved back to the center twice each frame...
