Mouse cursor disappears when moving over NPVR application

[a_edwall]

How can I get the mouse cursor to NOT disappear?

There is no option to trun off this behaviour, but I can try and add one for the next release.

I don't need an option - I would like to know why my cursor currently disappears. I don't want it to disappear.

And yet, now, it doesn't happen all the time. But I haven't discovered a pattern yet. Sometimes it disappears, sometimes it doesn't.

It disappears if you leave the mouse stationary for like 10 seconds over the NextPVR.exe. If you move the mouse then it reappears. Its so the mouse isnt in the way annoying people while they trying to watch a movie, or controlling the app with a remote.

sub, I think he means there are times when the cursor will disappear immediately when moving over the application. This is caused by a video driver (or DirectX) bug because I've seen it happen in other DirectX applications as well and I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about it on your end unfortunately. I've never investigated it fully because an app restart usually takes care of it.

Cant say I've noticed it, but I'll keep an eye out for. If you spot any steps to reproduce it, let me know and I'll see if I can do anything about it.

I'll post them next time it happens to me if a_edwall doesn't first. It doesn't happen to me too often though and I'm also not sure how to reproduce the problem on purpose.

At present the cursor appears and never goes away, no matter if NPVR has the focus or not. Very interesting.

It happened to me the other day. I was in the Channels tab under Settings and moved the mouse pointer from the desktop towards the "EPG Update" button and the pointer dissapeared as it moved onto the NPVR Settings box. You had to guess where the pointer was and click to start but it was easier to use the Tab to move to the button then press return. It does not happen today but seems to happen occasionally.
