Mouse Pointer Bug?

Is anyone else having problems with where your pointer shows up on the screen and where photoshop cs4 is actually drawing on the canvas. When I press my mousel/pen's button/stylus, photoshop actually draws a little down and to the right...probably about 20 pixels down and 20 to the right. Obviously this makes precision editing extremely frustrating, if not impossible. Thoughts?

You made a new document in full screen mode.
Use the F key to cycle through full screen mode.
It will go away.

Undo bug, mouse pointer disappears?

Is just me or everyone has that annoying "undo" bug?
That's what happens: when I press UNDO speedgrade starts to behave strangely.
- If I press undo after clicking right mouse button (and I'm moving a color wheel with mouse) comes out a message "optimizing timeline" and timeline thumbnails are shown under the timeline. Sometimes there is a worst scenario: mouse pointer disappears and I have to quit SG and reopen to get my pointer back.
- Pressing ctrl-z without right mouse button clicked (outside wheel edit mode, or whatever it is called..) sometimes works, sometimes appears the annoying progress bar "optimizing timeline" and several steps of undo are taken, even if I pressed cmd+z just one time.
I use undo A LOT, and now I'm not confident using it because of this strange behavior (I'm on osx).
Are you experiencing the same problems?

You won't believe this but just cleaning a mouse can improve performance... read the following:
How to Clean a Mechanical Mouse
This article explains when and how you should clean a mechanical mouse. It does not apply to the the Apple Pro Mouse.
You should clean a mouse if it is does not track smoothly, or if it jumps or skips. A mouse contains a small ball that must roll smoothly for the mouse to work properly. You should keep this ball free of dirt and oil by using the mouse on a clean, lint-free surface, and cleaning it occasionally.
Use the following procedure to clean a mouse:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Turn the mouse upside down and rotate the plastic ring on the bottom counterclockwise to release it.
3. Turn the mouse right side up with one hand and catch the ring and ball with your other hand.
4. Clean the three small rollers inside the mouse with a cotton swab moistened with water. Rotate the rollers to clean all around them. If there is a build-up of material on the rollers that the cotton swab does not remove, you can use your fingernail to gently remove the material.
5. Wash the mouse ball in soapy, warm water with a mild soap such as a dishwashing liquid if oil from your hands has collected on it. Be sure to dry the mouse ball thoroughly.
6. Gently blow into the mouse case to remove any accumulated dust.
7. Put the mouse ball back in the mouse case and replace the retaining ring.
If cleaning the mouse as described does not correct your issue, the mouse may need to be replaced. Have an Apple Authorized Service Provider check it for excessive wear or other failure.
If that doesn't do the trick, if this is a mouse that required 3rd party drivers, you might try reinstalling the drivers. Also, try going back to default Mouse preferences on all Users, see if makes a difference.

Mouse pointer invisible - intel 945GM

Hey people, thought I would document this in case others have problems. I have partially solved the issue, but if someone knows a better solution please contribute. I think this is specific to the intel xorg driver but not totally sure.
I rebooted my eeepc (Intel 945GM, using stock driver) today and when I got into X there was no mouse pointer. I quickly found that the mouse is in fact there, you can right-click and get a menu etc, its just there is no pointer so your flying blind.
A bit of Googling suggested it was something to do with using xrandr to enable/disable outputs, which is what I do. At home the eeepc sits on the desk connected to my external monitor. In my .xinitrc I have it set up so it detects when its connected to the monitor and automatically enables it (VGA) and disables the laptop screen (LVDS).
So to try and get the mouse back I re-enabled the LVDS
xrandr --output LVDS --auto
The eeepc screen comes back on (in clone mode) and sure enough the mouse pointer is visible on that screen, but not on the external VGA. After a bit of tooling around I found that if you enable both screens in extended desktop mode, the pointer is then visible on both.
xrandr --output LVDS --right-of VGA --auto
Once the pointer is working on both screens you can then turn off the LVDS again, and the pointer remains working on the external, everything back to normal.
xrandr --output LVDS --off
PART 2 - This is actually a question if anyone can help me
In order to use dual monitors like an extended desktop, you will find that you need to set the virtual desktop size in your xorg.conf display section. Something like:
virtual 2304 1024
BUT...since we now bask in the glory that is hot-plugging and hal wizardry, I don't have an xorg.conf. Does anyone know how to set the virtual framebuffer size using xrandr, without having to use an xorg.conf?
And while I think about it, why do we even need to set a virtual size manually really, xorg knows the dimensions of connected displays, you would think it could set a default virtual framebuffer to the width of the connected outputs, would make it much easier. /rant
Anyway, any more info on the subject much appreciated.

The cursor issue sounds like an upstream bug - you should report it to https://bugs.freedesktop.org.
Wittfella wrote:Does anyone know how to set the virtual framebuffer size using xrandr, without having to use an xorg.conf?
Can't be done. The virtual fb size tells your graphics driver how big a framebuffer to allocate at X start time. It can't be changed later. Which is too bad, and a major limitation of randr. I think it does set the virtual fb size correctly when it starts, but that size will be wrong when you add another monitor for example.

Pinkish glow around mouse pointer on external screen.

Since the last update (10.9.1) my mid-2012 macbook air started showing a very peculiar behaviour.
Only when connected to an external monitor and waking up from sleep, the mouse pointer on the external monitor comes with a pinkish glow. Very annoying.
Details:
- it only appears within the external monitor, if the pointer is moved into the macbook screen the defect disappear.
- to make it go away, it is enough to unplug and re-plug the external monitor
- it seems that the shadow and the aliasing around the mouse pointer receives the wrong hue on the ext monitor, but mine is only a guess.
- connection thunderbolt (original apple adapter to dvi)
- monitor iiyama prolite B2409HDS
- it started with the update to 10.9.1. NEVER had a problem before that (since 10.8)
any thoughts? Is there anybody out there with the same issue?

Same Issue here. See picture below:
Mac details:
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Pro
Software OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
HDMI Cable connected to LG LCD TV
I'm not sure but it could be that I have started experiencing this glow since a Mavericks update ( I didn't have this issue the first months after upgrading to Mavericks).....
Did anyone already submit a bug report over here : https://bugreport.apple.com ????

Catalyst: Mouse Pointer looks weird on one monitor

Hi, i just installed a fresh Arch system (2.6.35-ARCH) and I'm using Xorg (1.9.0) together with the AUR-package "catalyst-test". Now when i start up a desktop environment (i tryd twm and openbox), my mouse pointer looks weird on my right monitor but normal on my left, which is my primary.
Right Monitor (the square on the left is my mouse pointer)
When i tryd to make a screenshot of the problem the image just showed me the mouse pointer as its supposed to be, so i had to make this picture with a camera. The mouse pointer is fully functional just its look is broken. I never had this bug before when using the same hardware together with Arch. When I changed my xorg.conf so that my right monitor is the primary one, the mouse pointer looks weird on the left but is okay on the right.

Mouse pointer will sometimes disappear

mouse pointer will sometimes disappear

I think dissapearring mouse cursor has been a bug since 10.4. happens to me every day regardless of whether i am using a computer with more than one screen or not, and regardless of the mouse being used. I agree that the problem has gotten much worse with 10.8, with both wired and non-wired devices.
after much research and thousands of dollars invested in different mouse softwares, input devices, and monitors, I have determined that old simple wired input products are better. wi-fi is getting worse. the less amount of monitors are better. apple brand input products are the worst, but more importantly, are not entirely at fault.
I would suggest anyone suffering from disapearing cursors, that are not wifi, bluetooth, battery, monitor, software, web browser or website related, contact apple and complain. lots.
personally, I think this is a marketing bug, eventually apple will be entirely touch based, the only true method of eliminating mouse disapearance is to eliminate mouse and cursor altogether. to assist that future of marketing, bugs like this will proceed to worsen.

Mouse pointer flashing like crazy

Since the last Flash update, Firefox crashes once or twice a day. According to the error reports sent, Flash did cause those crashes. Now there’s a new bug: the mouse pointer flickers like mad. I know it is Flash, because I killed the process in the task manager, and the mouse returned to normal. It’s not likely to be Firefox’s fault, but I thought I should still report it here to get it on record. Maybe Adobe will remedy this latest, highly buggy version of Flash.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Change Screen Resolution = Mouse Pointer Disappears!

I am just moving to Arch from Ubuntu which i have used for several years. I am not a novice to linux, but I certainly don't know everything!
I installed arch on my pc last night, an old athlon xp with a radeon 9700 pro. I was going to try out KDE so I followed the beginners guide and successfully set it up. It booted and all was fine. Well except it set my resolution to 1024x768 and I wanted it at 1280x1024 which the monitor handles and is what I used in Ubuntu. So I opened the utility in KDE, based on xrandr I believe, and saw the 1280x1024 resolution. I selected it and Applied and the pointer disappeared. I could move my mouse and see the effects of the pointer hovering over buttons and other fields. So I managed to restart the machine thinking that would fix it, nope, still no dice. So I reverted to 1024x768 and all is good, except I would like to get more on my screen....
Also since I am more familiar with Gnome I thought I would remove kde and install gnome hoping it may make a difference. I successfully removed KDE and installed Gnome, went to change the resolution and had the same problem.
I am not sure what other pertinent information I can give. I will do my best to feed information to get this working. Thanks in advance.
Dave

Same problem, in a PC Atom N230 with Intel Chip 950, in new fresh Archlinux installation, but with last Gnome. After this, i have installed KDEmod 4.3.3 and the cursor show fine, only in Gnome cursor not show.
Any idea?

Mouse pointer jumps to corner of secondary screen

We just upgraded to a new server running the latest Solaris with Sun VDI 3.1 which includes Sun Ray Server Software 4.2. I have multihead enabled and have 3 stations with dual-monitors/Sun Rays. On the second monitor, especially when dragging or scrolling, the mouse pointer jumps to the top-left of the screen. All three of us are experiencing this. Two have xinerama extension enabled, one does not have it enabled and says he's seeing the same behavior with the mouse. We have mix of Sun Ray 1G's and 2's, and one I'm using is a 170. I did not experience this with our old server running SRSS 3.1. Anything I can do to fix this problem? I appreciate any help.

Do you know when the next patch is due?Patch schedules are highly unpredictable. This patch is now in what's supposed to be its final QA cycle but if QA finds problems, or if a serious new issue is reported (especially if it's a security issue) then the whole thing might have to be rebuilt and possibly resynchronized with other patches in progress, and then retested on all supported platforms (which means reassigning QA resources that had been committed to other efforts). The best case for this patch that has reached this stage of the process might be two or three weeks. The worst case could be a month or two.
Alternatively, is there a hotfix available as many of our users are having difficulty at the moment.If you have a support contract then you can open and escalate a support call against the bug. After the escalation has been filed you can request an "IDR" ("Interim/Diagnostic Relief"), which is essentially an early build of the patch that contains the intended fix for that bug. The IDR will not have been tested by QA so there's some risk involved in taking it. This is one reason why we don't routinely publish IDRs. You have to decide whether that risk is outweighed by the pain the bug is causing.

The mouse pointer does not appear when starting my TM2-2190sa

On startup the usual screen display appears giving Mail, Web and Music options but there are no icons at the foot of the screen and no mouse pointer to move to click on anything. It is configured to boot Windows 7 after waiting 15s but this is no longer happening.
Any ideas ?

Hi there
When you look at Edit > Preferences > Recording > Full Motion Recording do you have the mouse enabled there?

so that I can draw my own shapes,boxes e.t.c
The repaint() method is beeing called whenever mouse moves around(that means all the time)
Though I've used double buffering and the animation of my drawings is smooth , mouse pointer flickers all the time.
What must I do to avoid it???

The case of the disappearing mouse pointer

I use Keynote 3 several times a week to make up my presentations for work.
I use my eMac at home, running Panther (my work place uses Windows) and then I transfer the completed file over my home network to my iBook. I take my iBook to work, hook it up to a projector and give the presentation.
Lately, an interesting fault has arisen.
Say I'm making up a slide. Suddenly, my mouse pointer disappears.
I can physically wriggle the mouse and so on but I still can't see the pointer.
I used to save my work using "command S" and then re-open the file and the mouse pointer would be there again.
I now don't bother closing the file. I just twirl the mouse around a bit and the pointer eventually appears, usually from underneath the dock or, up in the file menu somewhere. Yes, that's right. Very weird. The mouse pointer seems to disappear under the window of the Keynote program.
Everything seems to work OK for a while and then it happens again.
This is getting really annoying.
I can't figure out if it's an eMac fault or a Keynote problem.
I don't seem to be able to reproduce the fault when I use my iBook (running Tiger) to make up a presentation.
Has anyone else come across this fault before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Brie
I apologise for not replying sooner. I've been away.
I tried your suggestion but it didn't make any difference.
I've just done 6 presentations over the last week and everything worked fine.
However, last night, I was making up a presentation and again, the mouse pointer disappeared.
Stange!
I think it is a bug in the program.
Anyway, thanks for the reply

Mouse Pointer Stuck CS5.1

Hello, I have a pressing issue that I cannot seem to solve.
Windows 7 Home Premium
Design Premium 5.5
I have used Fireworks many times, but not within the last few weeks. Now whenever I open it, the mouse pointer is stuck in an area of the screen, usually in the upper right side and isolated to maybe a 20x20 pixel area. It is not frozen and the hot keys still work. I can alt-tab out and back in with no change as well as minimize, maximize, reposition with the windows hot keys, etc. I have disabled almost all of my startup programs as well aside from Avast, no change. I also tried renaming my Fireworks preferences folder so it is forced to create a new one. I uninstalled Fireworks and reinstalled.
What does work? All other apps in the Deisign suite work without issue. If I log out of my windows account and log into a newly created account. It is following my Windows profile. It would be exremely difficult to switch back and forth so I'm looking for a solution within the same account. Also, I have not recently added any hardware and as far as I know all my Windows updates are up to date and video drivers(ATI) and other hardware are up to date.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dustin

Here are a few troubleshooting links, but they're really "laundry lists":

It sounds like you're on the right track if you've traced the problem to your particular user account or profile. This suggests that it's either a Fireworks file associated with that profile, another application being run, or a system preference of some type.
But it's a weird-sounding bug, too. This may sound stupid, but if you're on a desktop system, have you tried unplugging the mouse?

Safari won't open and wheel (mouse pointer) keeps spinning

Hi guys.
I'm going crazy here as everything I've read and tried doesn't work?
I've deleted cache files, history, plug-ins etc etc and every time I try and launch Safari, I keep getting the spinning wheel/beach ball/mouse pointer and safari doesn't open?
I've received the following long error message and it may as well be in Arabic as I haven't got a clue what it means?
Any techies out there who could shed some light "Error message for dummies' style please?
This is the report error.
Cheers,
Marc

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
[[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
If this helps, please say this question has been solved.
