Mouse Cursor disapear.
« on: June 21, 2025, 04:11:07 pm »
Hello

It happened to me a that I have a miss behaved application (in this case sdlmame with an older SDL12.DLL) that I had to kill with TOP.

The desktop came back, but no mouse pointer is showed. The mouse is working because if I can click randomly it clicks, but I it does not show.

Do you have a technique the get the mouse pointer back without a reboot? The reset the WPS does not help with that.

Martin,

Maybe switching to a full-screen OS/2 window and then back might force WPS/PM to re-initialize the mouse associated stuff?

Heck, a jump into WIN-OS/2 might be a good attempt as well? ...although w/o an active mouse cursor that might be a little bit tougher to navigate to!

Hi Martin

Sometimes opening the Text Editor by doubleclicking a text document re-initialises the mouse pointer.
