Summary: Mouse cursor disappears occasionally Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: PC URL: http://xnews.newsguy.com/ OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-user AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: prupe@myrealbox.com
A recent CVS change causes the mouse pointer to randomly disappear during drawing operations in Xnews v5.08.12. It's tricky to reproduce, but I can usually do it by moving the mouse pointer over the MDI window tabs at the bottom while a newsgroup is refreshing in the active window. Switching in and out of the application or between MDI windows a few times will usually bring it back until it happens again. I've traced the problem to this patch http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-cvs/2002/10/0013.html, specifically the file windows/syscolor.c. Version 1.34 of SYSCOLOR_MakeObjectSystem has the problem, 1.33 does not.
In order to use Xnews at all with the latest CVS, it may be necessary to temporarily roll back to version 1.143 of dlls/comctl32/listview.c due to bug# 1041.
