Mouse Cursor goes invisible over chat and notecards in Windows 11 if cursor size is set to 1 (smallest size) if you set it to 2 it is resolved.

Isaiah Spitteler please see my responce to caleb with the fix for this issue. it is a windows 11 bug not a second life one but there is a work around
Isaiah Spitteler
I will give that a try. Accept this issue. Started not with this current update, but the last update two firestorm and second life.
Isaiah Spitteler
This did Not, fix the issue, but it did fix it by changing the cursor from white to black filled.

Isaiah Spitteler: Hi Isaiah, I would like to check on a few more things.
- Do you have a dual monitor set up by any chance? If yes, could you try it on one monitor only.
- Please, retry it without any other applications running. In particular any kind of screen capture app.
- I am curious if uninstalling and reinstalling would solve this issue.
Isaiah Spitteler
Caleb Linden i only have 1 monitor that is a laptop monitor. I have reinstalled it but no fix.

hi the answer to this is an issue created with windows 11 latest update Caleb Linden you need to go into mouse settings and then pointers and change the text select pointer to aero_arrow. this will fix for text atleast. havent been able to fix for when viewing the in world map though

just an add on to this Caleb Linden to fix the same issue with the map view you need to change the precision select to the cross_r cursor. this is a windows issue that they need to resolve unless linden labs wants to add their own mouse event handler

Thanks Whirley. Isiaah, could you check the if it's related to the linked bug. And could you try out this issue with the latest Firestorm and or SL viewer please?
Isaiah Spitteler
Caleb Linden i have tried it again with the new version of firestorm 7.1.11 and the SL Viewer Both are still having same issue as before with the cursor disappearing when going over the chat boxes and notecards. I have tried doing the steps in the related Article that was submitted but that did not resolve the issue either for me.

I have not been able to reproduce this on Firestorm 7.1.11 release.
Microsoft Windows 11 64-bit (Build 22631.4391)
Windows settings -> Accessability -> Mouse pointer & touch -> Size -> Set to 1

Thanks for this I thought it was just me, I even purchased a new mouse thinking that was the issue but found it was in second life only having this issue.

Hi Isaiah,
We are not able to reproduce this so far. Is Second Life running on the laptop screen or a secondary monitor?
Isaiah Spitteler
Dan Linden I am on a Laptop, no external. So far non of my friends dont have the same issue. I first found it using firestorm when it updated to the newest and then tried the SL viewer and have the same problem. I never experienced this problem before with prev versions.

Dan Linden its an issue related to the latest version of windows 11. Unless you are testing on that you wont get a repro
