Bug ID: 386471
Summary: Hides mouse cursor after few seconds even during
movement if using graphics tablet instead of mouse
Product: kate
Version: 17.04.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ma...@science.su
Target Milestone: ---
Mouse cursor hides automatically after few seconds if text field is under it.
When I use touchpad or mouse, this is usually not a problem because it appears
again if I try to move it.
But when I move mouse cursor using my graphics tablet, KDE does not detect
mouse cursor movements, and hides it even if I actively using it in text
editor. Only way to unhide is to either touch the tablet surface (which would
be like clicking blindly) or move the mouse cursor out of the text field (or I
can slightly move it with touchpad or mouse, but it is very inconvenient when
I'm holding stylus).
When I use stylus to move mouse cursor, I can see events in /dev/input/mice. My
tablet does have "stylus" device in "Virtual core pointer" section according to
xinput. So I do not know why KDE ignores its activity, perhaps it monitors only
relative motion events. I use Huion tablet but somebody with Wacom tablet have
exactly the same issue(
https://askubuntu.com/questions/967665/stop-kde-plasma-hiding-mouse-cursor-when-typing
).
The problem can be reproduced in any KDE text editor, Kate, Kwrite, KDevelop,
etc., so I'm not sure if I have chosen correct "product" for this bug, since it
is not limited to Kate. But it is KDE-specific because does not happen in
Firefox and other non-KDE software.
