Bug: Blinking Cursor during remote access on Windows PCs

[johnnyq]

When we remote in to a Windows computer the user states that their cursor is blinking non stop. This doesn't appear to be an issue for our MacOS or Linux clients.

[Ylianst]

When you say "blinking cursor", I presume you are talking about the mouse cursor? This happens on some Windows computers and Bryan is working right now on a solution for this. It blinks each time the agent captures the display and Bryan is going to be using a better capture system that should solve this. Not sure when it will be ready.

Fantastic! Thanks @krayon007 and @Ylianst

Is this bug the same as this one? https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/issues/357

[krayon007]

Yes, it is the same.

[dooley74]

How is the fix for this progressing?

[krayon007]

Still going on. I have a bunch of things going at the same time, but I hope to have the first rev of it working in the coming weeks.

[dooley74]

Any progress on resolving this?

[krayon007]

Not yet, I got sidetracked with some higher priority bug fixes. I plan on trying to complete the KVM overhaul this quarter tho.

[dooley74]

How goes the KVM overhaul?

I thought this was in the order of things and did not expect that this feature could be solved.

Hello

Has this bug been fixed in a new version?

[DevOps-88]

I checked on the latest version 1.1.6 and unfortunately the problem persists. Are there any plans to fix this bug?

Hello, everyone. Thank you very much for creating such an amazing remote control system. I've been using it for about 2 months now and I'm really thrilled about the project.

Recently I discovered mouse cursor blinking error in the project. I studied the project and found out that agent was using CAPTUREBLT option when capturing the desktop. This was the cause of the mouse blink and I solved the problem by deleting this option.

I hope my solution would be helpful to all our users. Regards

It's not merged. You can obviously see that it's still on request.
