This is an ancient bug. Nobody has even tried to fix it. Who takes care of this plugin for compiz?? This is probably over 1 year old, but here is ubuntu 8.10 and it is still here. This bug happens on three computers I have used, so I assume it happens on all computers. In fact I'm sure it happens on all computers. The following steps WILL reproduce the bug, guaranteed.
Steps to reproduce: Get compiz config settings manager, go to enhanced desktop zoom, goto Mouse Behavior, tick Scale Mouse Pointer, Tick Hide original mouse pointer, and the bug is now activated until you restart the X server. The bug is all animating cursors disappear. This is a very hairy situation because anytime firefox is loading anything, you lose your mouse. You have to try and guess where it is. Feature request: I would like to have a "RTS" style desktop zoom, where moving the mouse to the edges moves the zoom area. I was close, but with this bug, I can't. Anyway I guess I will stick to the default where the mouse is in the middle of whatever video I'm trying to watch while zoomed. -- using compiz' enhanced zoom plugin corrupts mouse pointers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/227907 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
