------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-13-06 16:54 ------- (Pixel: your update via e-mail doesn't appear to have reached Bugzilla yeat; slow mail, or a problem with the system?) When the same happens on a "real" virtual console, I can "service gpm restart", but there isn't a similar option here. Is there a way to add a "reinitiatlize mouse" button, or at least a command on one of the installer's virtual (text) consoles? That would provide a way to reset the mouse back to normal, if nothing else. -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: During the install process, a PS/2 wheel mouse has the occasional tendency to get "lost" and stick in the corner of the screen. Yet the mouse cursor must be over the white area that contains the input fields and navigation buttons those inputs to gain focus. Thus, when the cursor is stuck in a corner it's impossible to use the keyboard -- either to navigate in the install process or to input text in the fields. This effectively means that the user has to abort the install. It's especially aggravating in a network install after *almost* getting to the end and not being able to install the bootloader. I know that desktop environments offer the option to disable automatic window focus. I'm not sure what it would take in the installer, but I think it would be a huge benefit if the focus always stayed on the central white area (especially since there are no other obvious window elements).
