Re: Vanishing Mouse!

Mouse-pointer disappears...

My guess: Excessive lag.

Re: Vanishing Mouse!

I can help you!

When I'm dragging scripts and things, sometimes my cursor will disappear. I noticed that if I right-click, my cursor will show. But once you stop the right-click effect (if you know what I mean), the cursor will disappear again. What you do is that you right-click your way to where a script is. Drag it, and once the script is down, your cursor will be back!

Re: Vanishing Mouse!

I've had this a few times. What I do is just switch to another window and switch back and it should work.

Re: Vanishing Mouse!

That's not a glitch with Scratch. It's a glitch with Windows. It's happened to me a few times as well.

Re: Vanishing Mouse!

If you mean at the times when you mouse any program that isn't covering the whole screen, and the mouse disappears, that is a glitch on Windows that is as annoying as heck!!!

I don't know... I run Windows, and it only happens in Scratch. And it reappears when I drag a script. And it temporarily shows, when you right-click in the script area.

Therefore, I think it is Scratch. I'm not bothered by it though; I get it to reappear really quickly.

Re: Vanishing Mouse!

There could be a problem with the Scratch theme and Windows together. Scratch has it's own mouse pointer different than the regular Windows cursor.  hmm

Re: Vanishing Mouse!

Hey guys, perhaps I used a different version of scratch. Take back what I said, because I play around with my collection of 30 image files of scratch (no joke, I really have 30). I repeat, just ignore what I said...
