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
