Public bug reported: Press the Print Screen button, select the Record Screen option and then press capture [1]. The screen recording works as expected however does not display the mouse cursor making it hard to use the screen capture for a tutorial without using a third-party capture device.
The screen cast should capture the mouse pointer by default. Or [1] you include an option to show/hide the mouse pointer in the recording.
