[SailfishDevel] Emulator: Mouse pointer not visible

[Jarko Vihriala]

Hello,

This incident seems to be related to distros running KDE ; we are looking at it and will provide more info as we find out why mouse is not released. In my Ubuntu box (on Gnome) I cannot reproduce the problem.

However, I'd like to ask you guys to test this. Can you please do multiple mouse clicks on VM window when emulator is booting and check if mouse disappears on emulator.

If it does, I'd like to know the distro and used wm.

thanks, Jarko

I have also seen this issue randomly on my kubuntu box.



The solution for me is to restart sailfish emulator when it happens.



I got the feeling that it has to do with how Vbox mouse has focus inside VM when booting the sailfishos? I noticed that if you accidently click inside the emulator when sf is booting the mousepointer will not appear when UI has started. I have tested this now 10 times or so if the mouse pointer is not inside when boot it always success. But if mouse pointer inside area and click when kernel has started print it messages, it often fails.



Seems like kernel gets that event and hijack the sailfish mousehandling or something?





Regards



Mikael
