Not happening in Ubuntu 11.04. The busy pointer shows up when Zoom Area
Lock is active, both with Hide original mouse pointer checked and
unchecked. Also, pointer position is accurate.

Can someone please test if this is still an issue with the current
development version of Ubuntu (Natty 11.04)?
I notice there has been no movement on the upstream bug report. It
might be necessary to propose the patch on the xorg-devel list, or to
update the upstream bug report with more
unsubscribing the sponsors for now since the patch there doesn't apply
to current versions

compiz-enhanced zoom desktop-zoom area lock = mouse input redirection breaks
I can confirm Dean's observation. It indeed works when I enable both
mousepointer scaling and mouse pointer hiding. So definitely this
is workable, but in Intrepid, I also experienced the disappearing mouse
pointer problem.
So a workaround is available, but the workaround was not ideal to the
Ubuntu 8.04, I loose the mouse pointer even after disabling hide mouse
pointer option in the compiz settings, with either sync mouse or
mouse panning. This bug occurs non-deterministically and is difficult
to reproduce.

Travis, sorry, but that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. There are
countless reasons why you would want and need to interact with the
screen while locked. Training presentations are just one example. When
connected to a projector, it is often helpful to zoom into part of an
application window
You can't interact with things when Zoom Area Lock is enabled because
the X server does not support input redirection. In you insist on
reopening this bug I'll just reassign it over there where it belongs. We
might get this feature in a year or two.

Travis, I don't understand why you keep saying that you can't interact
with things when Zoom Area Lock is enabled. The fact is, you *can* --
as long as the Scale the mouse pointer option is enabled. Please try
it and you'll see. (Strictly speaking you can also interact using the
unscaled
This is actually still happening in Ubuntu 8.04 .. losing the mouse
pointer is annoying :)

Confirmed also in Hardy. Another side effect, is that, when zoomed in
(with Scale + Hide), the clicks go through at the right position, but
using the Annotate plug-in still uses a wrong positioning. I'd be neat
to be able to use those two functions together, and very useful when
doing screencasts,
Don't use Zoom Area Lock, you're not meant to be able to interact with
the system at all while Zoom Area Lock is enabled, it's just so you can
stop to read one part of the screen.

Confirm in Ubuntu Gutsy with Intel graphics card. As Sadites said, the
cursor position is misrepresented, causing confusion when clicking (and
annoyance when you can't get the cursor away from that YouTube video).
The problem is solved with the scaled cursor, but as also noted by
Sadites, hiding
There definitely is a bug here (actually more than one), but I don't
believe it's as described above.
Everything works fine as long as 'Zoom Area Lock' is not selected in
that mouse clicks register in the correct position. If the 'Zoom Area
Lock' option is enabled, however, the mouse clicks do
You're not meant to be able to use the mouse when you lock the zoom
area, it's just so you don't accidentally move around something you want
to zoom in on. To be able to use the mouse in such situations Xorg would
need input redirection support.
