Mouse pointer grab

I am up-to-date, I am using KDE, have Konsole and Konversation and Google Chrome running and something from time to time grabs my mouse: the pointer moves but clicks dont register. There are various ideas on how to break this but I have no numeric keypad and assigning keycode 135 = XF86ClearGrab in Xmodmap didnt help. Also tried XF86UnGrab . Might not fire, might not work, who knows.

I have the same problem, too.
I guess, there are several unresolved problem reports here in the forums.
This is my old one: [wmii/i3] weird focus issues w/ tiling window managers
Then there is that one: Key event focus problem with AwesomeWM+evince 3.0(want confirmation)
and I guess there might be some others. Which will blame different causes.
There are several post over at stackexchange and the web.
I experienced this on my old setup, it is so annoying that I gave up on linux completely for a year or so. Now I thought I could try something else because "cinnamon wm" seemed to hit the spot exactly for what I wanted.
Now here I am having the same problem, again.
I am so frustrated, that I do not use archlinux for work anymore.
If there is anything I can do to help, I'd be happy to do so, because I want to use archlinux so badly.
With i3wm I could escape the false grab by changing screens, with cinnamon it is somewhat more fiddly. I have to change to another empty workspace via keyboard (because mouse will not work), right click on the empty desktop and get to see the context menu for for the focus grabbed window. Then exit and close the context menu by clicking besides it, and most of the time, I can use my mouse again until I click another window.
With Firefox I can access tabs within the focused window, but the window decoration is inaccessible until I exit the grab again. I tried using qt programs, because I thought this might be a gtk problem, but with okular, there is the same problem. I did not have the problem with my tiling wms because they do not decorate the windows.

Mouse pointer drops clips while dragging from canvas to timeline

Hi, I hope some of you guys had the same and know how to solve it.
I'm have a problem with my mouse pointer dropping the clips in the timeline before I release the right button on my mouse.
I select a clip that I want to drag from canvas to timeline, I right click and drag it to timeline and FC only give me like 2 seconds to line up the clip on the timeline and then FC drops the clip into the timeline by itself. I don't even release the right button on my mouse. It seems like this is some kind of setting in FC.
The same thing happens when I try to drag the clips around the timeline, the pointer grabs the clip, but I can move the mouse all over the timeline and nothing happens.
And the last but also very frustrating part is when I try to scroll with the play head in the canvas, the mouse pointer grabs the playhead and holds it only for 2 seconds, then it drops it and I have to go and look for the playhead again and drag again.
An help and advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Sure, I think you're are right.
I will lean them with time, it was just frustrating when all of a sudden nothing works. My compressor went nuts at the same time.
When I try to submit the compressor would say that "can't submit batch unable to connect to background process"
So, I didn't finish anything I was doing today. I went to exported using QT but the clip came out to me somewhat very shaky, in the moments when camera is zooming in it shows on the screen as it I'm zooming for 2 second and then stopping and then zooming again, it's not a smooth footage. Kind of making me think that my grafics card isn't good enough. I got to research this issue now. Oh.

Mouse pointer does not stick on fader when moving it

Using Logic Pro 9. If I grab any fader, the mouse pointer turns into a small dot. If I then drag the fader up or down, the dot does not stick on the fader. Instead, I find I have to drag the dot well above or below the fader to make big adjustments. Is there any setting to control this? Or is this just how it is in Logic. In all other audio applications I've seen, the mouse pointer sticks on the fader when moving it up or down.

No - haven't found a fix for this yet. I can only guess that maybe it wasn't as noticeable when display screens weren't so big. I'm running on a 27" iMac so the effect is quite pronounced. I supposed it could be argued that it gives you a finer grain of control to make small changes - but it really takes away from the 'feel' like you are moving a real fader.

Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS

Small Black Vertical Lines follow my mouse pointer AND surround all ICONS on my desktop. I just turned on my computer and it showed like this. I already tested my monitor and it's not the monitor.
See a picture of my problem here on my me gallery:
http://gallery.me.com/egarfias/100024
Looking at websites, it's fine the display but any icons and my pointer and things that move have these lines following! Looking at VIDEO, it's the picture is full of white and black lines though you can see the video just fine.
Any ideas? Thank you!!

I am in Safe Mode now: This is the weirdest thing: A bit from column A AND B:
The display is perfect EXCEPT for two parallel lines of 17, 3 millimeter-long black lines that follow the pointer everywhere it goes.
Get this: my current display is 1024x768, but when I change it to 640x480, the pointer and everything is perfect! (of course, I can only see a fraction of my desktop)
But then again... when I zoom in and out holding down control (in 640x480) the pointer lines appear again, but less lines. They disappear when I re-reset it to 640.
Strange.
But yeah, safe mode is NEAR perfect with the except of the cursor lines. I can screen grab my cursor though to show...

Mouse pointer has lost its place in the shapes list

Suddenly, my mouse pointer exhbits a mismatch of shape and current context.
Examples:
On the compose page of ASC, placed in the left or right margin, or anywhere from the to of the screen to the space below the grey bar of buttons that starts with the apple and ends with the search box, the pointer has the expected black arrow shape.
Hovered over Apple Support Communities, New, Your Stuff, History, Browse, or in the spaces along that line, it changes to a cross with centred dot similar to the drawn shape below:
Placed in or beside the formatting controls above the compose box, it returns to the expected black arrow shape, whether over the grey area or the cfomatting buttons.
In the text entry area, whe're back to the cross, very difficult to pick out on the page, especially when it's somewhere in the text.
The cross remains as I move the pointer down the page. There's a quick flash of the arrow to the left and slightly above the cross as the pointed moves downward across the word Categories, and across the words in the list of categories below, and from there to the bottom of the page.
The cross gets substituted for other pointer shapes as well—On Google Maps, the cross shows until I press the mouse button to grab the map, then changes to the enpected closed hand when I drag the map in any direction. In Sreet view, I get the arrowm the cross, or an I beam in the circle that indicates where a click will move the viewpoint, or a cross in the circle that indicates the center of a magnified view.
Questions: What's happening? How do I fix it?
Comments and suggestions apreciated.

Barry
MBP with Retina, mid 2012, 2.3 GHz Core i17, 8 Gb, OS X v10.8.4 (12S55)

Hi Linc,
Thanks for the pointer. Neither of the Adobe plug-ins mentioned in the linked discussion are installed on my MBP; in fact the only one installed is the Google Earth We Plug-in.
In the meantime, the mouse pointer has gone back to behaving normally. The only significant action I can think of is that the MBP was shut down for a little over 10 hours today. I had restarted it a couple of times last night, but had not let it sit for any extended time.
Still a mystery.
Regards,
Barry

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

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

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:

Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch

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.

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.

I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

C655D 5210 tosiba black screen with mouse pointer

I have only had this computer for 8 months. One day I turned it on, and windows kept restarting. After a few trouble shooting steps off the internet, I decided to reinstall windows 7 and lose my data and start all over. The first time it could not repair the computer and asked me to send the information to microsoft. Cannot boot in safe mode, I can get to the setup utility screen. This is a new Windows 7 cd. After several tries, it installed and said it had to restart, (this may happen several times) it only restarted once, then a black screen with a cursor. When I try to boot from the cd, the windows logo apppears, then a black screen with mouse pointer again. Toshiba is no help at all. This is my third Toshiba laptop. The first one did the same thing. But it was out of warranty, the amount they wanted to charge us, i just got another one. My mom's Toshiba just died with no real reason, the old one is in the garbage, and this one is only 8 months old. Toshiba would like us to send the computer in, pay for shipping, wait for 3 weeks, pay to ship it back to us, with a promise that it may not work.
Please help

Mouse pointer Problem with CS3 and windows 7

Upgraded
to a new PC which has Windows 7(32bit) as an operating system. Installed my Photoshop CS3 and everything seems ok except when I magnify in the navagator panel. Once I zoom in my mouse pointer changes to 3 hands in the navigator panel. I powered up my old laptop which has Vista and my CS3
then matched up the mouse settings in the control panel on the new PC. Used the same usb mouse on both PC's, the older Vista laptop worked fine but the windows 7 PC would get a tripple pointer in the navigation panel when I magnified. In the windows 7 laptop I then set the compatibility for Photoshop CS3 to run in XP mode but the problem did not clear. I see in FAQ for CS4 people have complained about tripple cursers in windows 7 but the replies indicated that the recommended fix did not work. Any help apreciated.
Tom

Thanks for your solution. I by changing the setting to 125% I am now able to use CS3 without tripple pointers.
My eyesight is challenged so the decrease in text is a challenge but I can change the setting when I will use CS3 so I have a workarount.
Thanks,
Tom

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.

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.

Moving mouse pointer to menu dims window and shows all open windows at once

when i'm in safari and i move my mouse pointer to the upper left corner of a window that is almost full screen, that window dims and a black bar appears in the middle of this window with a discription of it. as an example
APPLE=SUPPORT-DISCUSSIONS-POST MESSAGE:NEW THREAD
if i have 2 windows open one shows lower left and the other upper right and i have to click the mouse button on the window i was using to get it back and get the other behind it.
is there a setting in preferances that causes this that i can change?

This is what happens for one of the active corners for Exposé, if ("all windows") is the upper left corner. Take a look at "System preferences" , Dashboard & Exposé.

Is there a way to keep the mouse pointer in my window

I would like to change the cursor so that it can not go outside my application window until they exit the program. Is this possible?

Just because you disagree with its usage does not make
it an invalid question. Suppose you had an
application dedicated to real-time monitoring of a
high-pressure system. In our hypothetical example,
accessing other parts of the system without first
properly "dismissing" the application could be
potentially hazardous - people could get hurt. In
this case, would it not make sense to make the
application "system-modal"? Furthermore, it would be
a convenience to the operator if the mouse pointer
were trapped in this critical application.
How would one go about trapping the mouse cursor
inside this application?Yes, it would make sense to make this application system-modal. And it would also make sense to not allow any other applications to run on the monitoring system. For such an application, then, it would occupy the entire screen and there would be no way to swap away from it to any other application. Which is what several people suggested for this rather non-critical application, I believe.
But in the ordinary case, where you are running on a system that does allow multiple applications to run, trapping the mouse cursor in a single application is bad manners and an alternate solution should be sought.

Can't undo a Huge Mouse Pointer after upgrading from Tiger to Leopard.

I did an upgrade from Leopard to Tiger.
When I was on Tiger, I had a setting for a huge mouse pointer. I upgraded to Leopard. No matter how many times I reset the pointer to small, when restarting it goes back to huge.
How can I fix this?

gaccawi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
No matter how many times I reset the pointer to small, when restarting it goes back to huge.
That statement indicates to me that you have made this attempt using System Preferences>Universal Access>Mouse>For difficulties seeing the mouse...Normal.
If that is the true, have you previously installed any third party pointer software?
;~)
