Minor mouse pointer glitch in windowed mode

[andreas]

Can anybody of you guys reproduce this?
(It may be OS version-dependent...[I'm on Win7])

Try this:

- Use one of the quickstart modes, A500 or 1200. Windowed mode.
- In Host->Miscellaneous, check [x] Untrap = middle button to make life easier for you.
- As you should know, it's possible to resize the WinUAE window according to your likings.

- Activate WinUAE window. (important!)
- Untrap mouse cursor by clicking your middle mouse button.
- Now place the mouse pointer *exactly* at the dotted lower right edge and move it up and down in very short steps (i. e. fractions of an inch).
- You should perceive that the cursor is always "hectically" changing shape in 1/10 second intervals. I call it the "trembling mouse pointer" issue.

- This issue appears to have been introduced in the 2.X tree.
- 1.X versions do not show this - cursor is calm as a deep sea...
- The "trembling" won't show up if the window is inactive.

I'm on Win7 also.

If you mean "trembling mouse pointer" flickering between pointer icon and resize icon" then yes, I get that also. I also get it when trying to grab the edge of the window to resize in any direction. In fact it can be very tricky to see the mouse pointer as the resize icon at all making you think you're not in the right spot but clicking anyway resizes.

If that's not what you mean - lol

...but this also happens if the window isn't active...

You got me perfectly right.

Frankly, yes it does happen there as well, but the shape changes happen in a less impetuous fashion (by far)...
