From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: The typing monitor (Typing Monitor 2.8.0) under Fedora Core 3 (updated today) causes the mouse cursor to become invisible after a typing break. To replicate: - set typing monitor (via, eg, keyboard preferences) - let monitor active or activate with Right-CLICK -> 'Take a break' - wait out the pause cursor will no longer be visible, and clicks are no longer observed or passed to applications. However, the 'find cursor' operation will show the concentric diamonds. (PS. 'About' shows richard@imendio.com as author. I'll also send a note to that address.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.8.1-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - set typing monitor (via, eg, keyboard preferences) - let monitor active or activate with Right-CLICK -> 'Take a break' - wait out the pause Actual Results: Mouse cursor invisible, keyboard focus no longer available, cursor locator identifies a spot on monitor. Restarting X server necessary to recover. Expected Results: Cursor comes back after wait. Additional info:
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!
I can not reproduce this bug in Fedora 8 with gnome-terminal-2.18.3-1.fc8. Fedora Core 3 is not maintained anymore if you can reproduce this bug in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8 please reopen this bug.
