--- Comment #4 from rb <rb0171...@gmail.com> --- Valid points. I was wrong about Windows, I apologize. The current pointer behavior is similar to Windows. I am getting used to doing without the option to hide mouse pointer after inactivity in KDE that was a feature of xfixes/X11. Apps have improved in this area in 20 years and I did not notice because I was hiding the pointer anyway. It is a non-issue. Thank you for your time Nate and all your Team for all the hard work you do.
