[Bug 227907] Re: using compiz' enhanced zoom plugin corrupts mouse pointers
I've marked a bunch of other reports in Launchpad as duplicates of this one, since this one seems to have the highest signal-to-noise; hope that's OK. Possibly-useful additional information: * On the workaround: this bug is triggered when a zoom is done with at least Scale the mouse pointer and Hide original mouse pointer in Enhanced Zoom Desktop's configuration. Once it's triggered, that's it; unchecking Hide original mouse pointer won't bring your pointer back until X is restarted, but once restarted, you won't lose it again. * However, that workaround doesn't help if you want to use the (disabled-by-default) Toggle zoom area lock, because the original mouse pointer is in the wrong place. (Maybe that's a different bug. LP#180830 refers.) * A few of the duplicated bugs and posts on Ubuntu Forums (e.g. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3664399postcount=13) refer to a link-rotted blog post by a Compiz Fusion developer, Kristian Lyngstøl; since it took me a while to track down, here it is: http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~kristian/2007/08/25/xfixes-the-problem-and-the-dirty-workaround/. (Another post on this subject by Kristian: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3167896postcount=26. However, I'm not sure these references add much to what's already in this bug.)

[Bug 227907] Re: using compiz' enhanced zoom plugin corrupts mouse pointers
I just tested this on a Jaunty live CD, and animated cursors are still disappearing after activating zoom with the GConf key /apps/compiz/plugins/ezoom/screen0/options/hide_original_mouse set to true. bgruber, are you sure you turned hide_original_mouse on when you tested it? It looks like this bug has been reported upstream. There's also a naive patch there which seems to fix things, but I don't know enough about the X.Org internals to know whether it's a good long-term patch. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- 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

[Bug 227907] Re: using compiz' enhanced zoom plugin corrupts mouse pointers
The ezoom plugin uses a hacky method to allow users to interact with transformed windows (doing this properly requires input redirection support from the X server, which it doesn't have yet). A consequence of this approach is the mouse cursor disappearing bug mentioned here. From a comment in the source code: * Hide the real cursor and draw our own where it would be when zoomed in. * This allows us to navigate with the mouse without constantly moving the * zoom area. This is fairly close to what we want in the end when input * redirection is available. * * This second method has one huge issue, which is bugged XFixes. After * hiding the cursor once with XFixes, some mouse cursors will simply be * invisible. The Firefox loading cursor being one of them. http://gitweb.compiz- fusion.org/?p=fusion/plugins/ezoom;a=blob;f=ezoom.c;h=5749c17e2e1fbe907f9f64e922acea59fd8f5ab7;hb=eb651d03c6477c0e522c1fb85cacca0d17cde4ed -- 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

[Bug 227907] Re: using compiz' enhanced zoom plugin corrupts mouse pointers
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
