I've been using it since I installed Fedora Core 2. I switched to Fedora Core 2.92 (Fedora Core 3 Test 3) and it still worked, but some days ago, when the screen displays the reminder "Take a break of 5 min!" (or something like this) and I do a break of 5 minutes, when I come back, the mouse pointer has disappeared and it's not possible to go on working, I have to press Ctrl+Alt+BckSpc in order to reboot X server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): control-center-2.8.0-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Activate Typing Monitor 2. Take a rest when the reminder appears in the screen 3. Let the reminder disappear... Actual Results: The mouse pointer disappears. Expected Results: Pointer should be somewhere in the screen and I should be able to go on working... Additional info:
Hi Dani, Do you still get this problem in FC4 and/or rawhide?
I cannot say. I'm currently working with an up-to-date FC3... I still get this problem. In order to get my mouse pointer back, the screensaver must appear, then I make disappear the screensaver by moving my mouse and the pointer is back.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
