@mpt Good compromise between actual situation (mouse pointer always visible ) and solution proposed in this bug report (mouse pointer should disappear when typing, reading and all cases where mouse pointer is useless).
I'm using unclutter on lucid lynx from two weeks and I think that is very useful when writing (for example in this box but also in Open Office) and reading documents. However I had meet some unpleasant behaviours, for example tooltip in firefox (alt and/or title of images, links etc.) or other browser disappear when mouse pointer disappear, if I try to listen a song from nautilus when mouse disappear song preview is restarted etc. After that I think that unclutter is not mature for going in "production". Probably mouse pointer should disappear quite immediately when *writing* and reappear after a little gap of time, when text cursor is probably distant. Furthermore I think that there are situations where mouse pointer shouldn't disappear also if not in use (not on the go) and this complicate the unclutter behaviour. -- Mouse pointer should disappear when keyboard is in use and mouse isn't https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
