Category: Visual Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Yar Tikhiy (yarq) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Color of the "text select" mouse pointer Initial Comment: This problem is reproduced easily with PuTTY, the popular SSH client for Windows. PuTTY is started in a remote desktop session, of course. The "text select" mouse cursor over a PuTTY window is black and thus hardly visible on the window's default black background if using rdesktop. The cursor is white, as it should be, if using MSTSC. Moreover, the mouse cursor becomes black or white if reconnecting to the same session with rdesktop or MSTSC, respectively. In general, rdesktop always seems to use black color for the "text select" mouse pointer while MSTSC, as well as the regular Windows desktop, does something like logical NOT over the underlying pixels to get the pointer image on the screen. The latter approach ensures easily that the pointer is visible over any solid filling or pattern. Versions used to reproduce the bug: MS Windows Server 2003 SP1 rdesktop 1.4.1 PuTTY 0.58 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Matt LaPlante (cyberdog3k) Date: 2007-11-29 16:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=645231 Originator: NO I'd like to bump this bug. I've recently started using Putty over rdesktop sessions, and the black on black I-beam cursor is killing my eyes. Windows XP here, although I'm sure it's a fairly generic issue. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bill Allen (sectionhiker) Date: 2006-09-01 00:12 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1588262 Forgot to mention the versions I'm using: MS Windows 2000 Professional rdesktop 1.4.1 (compiled on Mac OS X 10.4.7) Visual Basic 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bill Allen (sectionhiker) Date: 2006-09-01 00:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1588262 I am running into this problem as well. I use a black background in Visual Basic, and the text cursor (the I-beam) is black as well, making it hard to select text or position the mouse on a line. Some sort of logical NOT makes sense here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=381347&aid=1271896&group_id=24366 |
