Version: 2.1 (using KDE 3.1.0) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-rc4 If you write something in kate and than switch to another desktop, the mouse pointer will be away if you swith back to the document. I mean that the mousepointer is away for this document only.
can somebody reproduce that or was it a temporary kwin bug ?
I can't reproduce, but I get the feeling Felix is talking about the caret, not the mouse cursor. Felix, can you be more specific? A list of step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce this would be good. Are you using multiple views within kate, etc?
Subject: Re: Mouse pointer for active document get lost when switching between desktops I will try to explain it. At the moment I also have problems to reproduce it every time. Before my kde cvs update and restart it was possible to reproduce it to 95%. I have one file (many files also work) open. It is a java file but xml also works, I haven't tried other. Now cut a block from that file. Don't save Switch to Desktop 1 Switch back to 4 (I have kate there) The cursor is away. You can select everything in kate and you can also use it in the document, but it is not visible in the document. It is visible in kate and in other documents. This is not a real reproducer because it also works when you don't do anything after opening the file, but it works most of the time I think. Not sure.
I can reproduce this here on kde from cvs HEAD. I don't have virtual desktops here. I also don't have two screens. It is reproduceable with alt-tab switching. Both machines (work and here at home) are runnig debian unstable.
yeah, got it now, too (while my own latex editing session ;) but we use KCursor::autoHide.... stuff, better reassign to kdelibs
