Re: [Gwc-general] Anyone still using GWC?

Follow-up note. I downloaded both your update and Jeff's on github, built both versions. They both compiled fine and ran. Audio works, if that was ever an issue. But the cursor is still frozen. If I don't highlight an area, there is no apparent cursor. If I highlight some data, the cursor appears on the left, and just as I hit play, you can see the cursor start moving and then stop. The music continues to play. I don't think this is a GWC problem but a symptom of something else. I am going to go about my business trying other programs in the next day or so, and see if there are any other weird video issues. If it was a system update, it might go away with the next update and we'll never know what it was. If I get desperate I may try reinstalling Buster from the latest release, or reinstalling my earlier iso to see if the problem goes away. Very strange.
