Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

Hi,
Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
* I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*

  • How Do I Hide Mouse Pointer While Typing In Firefox

    Only in firefox, and only recently am I having problems typing anything through firefox, as the slightest touch of my laptops touch pad causes the mouse pointer to jump along with my typing cursor. This is causing major issues as I conduct all y business emails through firefox. If this cant be helped I will have to start using Internet Explorer Again. EVERY other program I use auto hides the mouse while typing, Except FF....
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure, but I believe a week or so ago

    I have had the same problem despite having Hide Pointer When Typing checked in Mouse Properties. Damn annoying. I thought I finally found a solution with a free utility called "Park Cursor Aside" at http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/parkcursoraside-hide-mouse-cursor-when-typing/.
    Works great in Chrome and everywhere else EXCEPT Firefox. How about it Mozilla, are you are giving me another reason to switch over to Chrome? Please fix this. Thank you.

  • How do I hide the cursor while typing?

    I have it turned on in the Windows mouse settings. It hides in all other programs except Firefox. I have Win7 and Firefox 13.0.1

  • Hide  the cursor when it not move?

    how to hide the cursor when it not move?
    i know how to creat a hide_cursor,but i want to hide it when the cursor not move and show it when it starts move again
    thank you!

    Create a javax.swing.Timer that has a 5 second initial
    delay, non-repeating. When it fires, it should hide
    the cursor (set to a blank cursor or whatever you have
    to do). Then on mouse motion events, you show the
    cursor and reset the timer.A good idea - is there no mouseNotMoved-event ?
    heres my sample-code:import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.awt.image.MemoryImageSource;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.event.MouseInputAdapter;
    public class HiddenCursorListener extends MouseInputAdapter implements ActionListener {
         private static final Cursor HIDDEN_CURSOR =
              Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
                   Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new MemoryImageSource(16, 16, new int[16 * 16], 0, 16)),
                   new Point(0, 0),
                   "HIDDEN_CURSOR");
         private static final Cursor DEFAULT_CURSOR = new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR);
         private Timer timer;
         private int timerDelay=1000;
         private Window window;
         public HiddenCursorListener(Window win) {
              window=win;     
         public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e){
              startTimer();
         public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
              showCursor();
         public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
              showCursor();
         public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
              showCursor();
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
              hideCursor();
         private void hideCursor(){
              if (window.getCursor() != HIDDEN_CURSOR)
                   window.setCursor(HIDDEN_CURSOR);
         private void showCursor(){
              if (window.getCursor() != DEFAULT_CURSOR)
                   window.setCursor(DEFAULT_CURSOR);
         private void startTimer(){
              timer = new Timer(timerDelay, this);
              timer.start();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              JFrame f = new JFrame("Hidden-Cursor-Test");
              f.setSize(500, 500);
              f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              HiddenCursorListener lis = new HiddenCursorListener(f);
              f.addMouseMotionListener(lis);
              f.addMouseListener(lis);
              f.setVisible(true);

  • When I started my iMac, I could move my mouse cursor but I could not clik

    When I started my iMac, I could move my mouse cursor but I could not clik. Following some advices from the discussion board, I did run the safe mode. Nothing changed. Hence I could not log in. Need help, please.

    I am using an Apple Magic Mouse and up to yesterday there was no problem.
    This morning when I logged in, I got a note that my trackpad battery is low.
    I tried to close that notice, failed. I tried open finder, fail. I could move my cursor but could not clik. I turned off.
    Now here I am.

  • Playbook requires me to pay for support when it did not work from the beginning and they could not fix.

    lack of email app- makes this may purchase virtually useless. because
    cant bridge with my bb 9700. maybe twice after deleting from both, and rebridging, i got connections. i cant spend an hour bridging every time. since may this is unfixable. the support people cant fix it after dozens of hours. got lots.of emails from them though. asking if i was resolved. when i answered no, they asked me to do it all again. they have no fix for this.
    can type documents, but cant email them to anybody. same with excel. no way to attach documents when the bridge doesnt work.
    i am a ceo,and i am moving my entire organization off bb becuase of this.
    have spent many many hours from the beginning in may, and now they want me to pay a 129 dollar fee to get support when it has not worked right from the beginning.
    i bought an ipad today and i am absolutely blown away by how much better it is in every single way. dozens of bbs are going away now.
    slow, no.email, locks up all the time, stand by button restarts tablet, no bridging without total reload on both devices. why would i go through this anymore? it is costing my business a fortune with myself and my people trying to make the playbook work.
    we will get ipads and make more money.
    i have tried to stay loyal to bb, but after being told i have to pay for support
    when i did once get a connection through bridge, reply locked up everytime on an email. could not type.

    I would like to add my support to this comment.
    Strike 1) Bridging a BB 9700 with a PB is flaky at best. Even if you run the very latest software on both, it does not work properly. This is NOT a user issue but a programme/application issue. RIM software running on RIM hardware and O/S and NOT being able to connect properly = RIM fault.(see my other post: My Bridge connects, it exchanges data like passwords, number of unread emails and my playbook notifies me when someone calls my BB, but it does NOT unlock)
    Strike 2) All this used to work fine during the 90d grace suport period (apart from the flaky bluetooth issue that required a hard reboot of the BB whenever the connection was broken in a bad way)
    Strike 3) Now, after a PB OS upgrade (which I faithfully applied), several phone upgrades (due to another problem) and the latest Bridge application install, it all doesn't work anymore, 100 days after I bought the flipping thing. so I have a fancy ebook reader, not the productivity enhancing tool I can use on the go.
    So now I am stuck with a forum that can't help, a technical database that does not contain this support information and a broken RIM application on RIM Hardware and O/S that I paid a lot of money for. And now they want more to look at this incident????? I am sorry but if this was a problem caused by usage, configuration or any other user error, I could understand it. But this is all completely in RIMs ballpark. I have done everything right. It connects. It just DOES NOT WORK!!!!!
    As I said in my other post, an evaluation of the PB in my company is ongoing as a possible management tool by people I know quite well, as I work in the area, but my advice would definitely be to stay away until basic functionality like emails, attachments, calendars etcetera are all suitably solved and usable by the average manager with sausage fingers and no clue about bluetooth, hard reboots and who won't be able to hold down the power, + & - buttons at the same time as the fingers won't fit!!
    So RIM, get your finger out, open up an email support channel or get some qualified support people go through this forum and help those people who have shown faith in your products and who now have real problems with your software and hardware. DONT HIDE BEHIND A STUPID SUPPORT FEE - MAN UP TO YOUR PROBLEMS!!!

  • Can I hide the cursor when screen sharing?

    I'd like to hide the cursor on the screen share device. Is that possible?

    You want to hide your cursor when sharing your screen?
    You could always hide the cursor in a corner of your monitor and then use keyboard commands to navigate your application, or, if you have second screen, leave your mouse cursor on the non-shared screen.
    There is no method of omitting your cursor from your screen share, as that is part of sharing your screen. There is the option to show the 'application' cursor, instead of the Connect Presenter cursor.

    I don't know if there is a better way but ...
    create a gif (using PaintShop Pro or something) which has nothing in it or if that can't be done as few pixels as possible. I created mine in c:\tmp\blank.gif for the program below

    when you run this, the cursor disappears when its over p1 / b1

    My mouse pointer in finder is not working by double clicking on the application.I have to double click and select open for opening the application.Can you suggest me some settings to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    Try this ... reboot your Mac and see if double clicking works again.
    Also, you can just select the Application you like to open and hold down the Command+O to open.
    Also, did you check your setting for the mouse in system preferences.

    Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?
    There is a disc jammed in the drive and when I try to do an install in Target Firewire mode using a G5 Tower I get an error saying the software cannot be installed on this machine, before I can even select the iMac's drive. I'm using the grey software install discs that came with the iMac.
    Is my only option to open up the iMac and get the jammed disc out?
    Thanks

    Problem solved - I posted on the general Tiger Discussions as well.

  • Hi the wifi when make update not works good

    hi
    the wifi when make update not working good
    now i cannot turn on wifi the wifi button
    can you help me please ????

    Hello Riham123,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the wifi button is grayed out and you are unable to toggle it.
    I recommend trying the steps in this article:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version

    i am using sharepoint 2010 and windows authentication
    recently i have updated my ie to ie11 and problem goes here.
    when i try to select from people picker, there are an unexpected error happened 
    however when i use other ie version, people picker work fine, what goes wrong?
    i have already added my system as trusted site
    if there any others thing i miss out?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that People picker is not working for ie11 but working fine for other lower version.
    IE 11 is known to have compatibility issues on SharePoint 2010, please make sure to:
    first of all, try installing latest update for IE 11 (several compatibility issues were fixed since the first release)
    add the site to compatibility view (in IE> Tools> Compatibility view settings> type site name> add)
    add the site to trusted sites and set the zone security level to low (in IE> Internet Options> Security> trusted sites> sites>add your site there> ok> custom level> select low> reset> ok)
    You can use developer tools (f12) and set browser mode to the version that is most compatible with your environment.

  • After updating to v. 6.X.X, vertical lines appear around the cursor when typing in webpages such as Gmail and Facebook that persist, obscuring text and other pixels in the webpage. Didn't happen before this update.

    I noticed after updating to Firefox version 6.0.1 that vertical lines the same size and shape as the text cursor remain behind on the screen as the cursor moves (either while typing or by using arrow keys). This is most obvious and annoying in text-heavy applications such as when typing in Gmail, Facebook, and work webmail, for instance. (Interestingly, it's not happening now as I type this.)
    This is very annoying because these lines obscure parts or even entire letters in words that have been typed. I thought that it might have been a Firefox customized 'skin' I added at the same time as updating, but I reverted to the default view and the problem remains.
