In the end, there's only so much time and resources that can be devoted to paper cuts by the contributors, and when there is already an effort to port Firefox to GTK3 ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627699), I don't think's it's a good idea to carry out any work that will only be applying a sticking plaster to an issue that'll be resolved in due course. PS: The https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut page is missing in action. (it > shows "This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or > use one of the page templates.") Woops, my bad. I was consolidating the paper cut pages and seem to have missed that one. It now forwards to OneHundredPaperCuts, which is where I simply moved all of its content. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16492 Title: Mouse pointer should disappear when keyboard is in use and mouse isn't Status in elementary OS: New Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: New Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gtk+2.0” source package in Maverick: Triaged Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Click near the top left of a text field to focus it. 2. Start typing. Or: 1. Click in a browser window to focus the page. 2. Read the page, scrolling with the arrow keys. Or: 1. Click in an e-mail message window to focus the message. 2. Read the message, scrolling with the arrow keys. What happens: * The mouse pointer gets in the way of what you're typing/reading. What should happen: * Whenever you press a non-modifier key on the keyboard, if the pointing device has been neither moved nor clicked in the past ~0.25 seconds, the pointer should disappear until the pointing device is next moved or clicked. But won't this make people lose the pointer? * No. For human eyes, such a small object is much easier to find by movement than by searching the entire screen. As soon as they grab the mouse again, the pointer will appear, and they'll see where it is. This is nuts! * It's worked on the Mac for over two decades. Most people haven't noticed. They just get slightly irritated on *other* platforms when the pointer gets in the way.
