Show cursor even if using graphics tablet.

Open CrazyBlobie opened this issue 8 months ago • 7 comments

Greetings.

When I bring my pen to my Huion H1060P, the cursor hides but it draws perfectly. When I gently move my mouse, the cursor appears. I understand why this feature is in built, because it caters to the need of pen tablets with an inbuilt screen or standalone tablet, but for people with a screenless graphics tablet without any grid guidelines, this seems to be an obstacle.

Please add an option in settings to show cursor when you're using the tablet, all the time.

Thank you for this amazing app, flxzt. It helped me out a ton with my studies, better than OneNote.

Hello Does setting "Show Drawing Cursor" option to true fixes your issue?

No.

The expected behavior is for the regular cursor to show when the mouse is moved or the pen is hovering, and the drawing cursor to show when the pen (or mouse) is on the screen drawing.

So the issue is that you don't have the cursor when the pen is hovering ?

Hello, this seems very similar to #1427 but I'd need more information.

  • Does this only happen on a second monitor?
  • What version of rnote are you using? What os are you running it on? If this is on linux, on what distro/desktop environment (version, name, X11 or wayland)
  • Did it start happening on a specific version?
  • Is the cursor only visible when inside the settings panel? Is the cursor visible outside of rnote?

I can't really understand whether or not any of the cursors are shown (regular and drawing) in the different configuration for the pen (hovering pen, drawing pen).

(If on linux) this could be more of a compositor issue, so changes are likely not going to come from our side except adding an option to not have custom cursors for the canvas.

Quick Update: This issue only happens when I'm using the fullscreen option, doesn't matter if its from a gnome extension like "Hide Top Bar" or using the fullscreen native button in rnote. When I'm in windowed, the pointer works smooth and is visible. I'm using Wayland, Ubuntu 22.04, I only have one monitor.

Is it fullscreen or maximized ?

If you're using this button to fullscreen, can you try to use F12 from a state where no menu is opened instead and see if there's any difference ?

I've recently found a case where the behavior was different between the two

I have the same issue with Huion H430P. Happens in the following scenarios:

  • When the window is fullscreen
  • When the window is maximized and the top bar is hidden with Just Perfection

Doesn't happen in the following scenarios:

  • When the window is in windowed mode
  • When the window is maximized and the top bar is visible.
