Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Win 7 Host to Win 7 Client: Connect Remote Desktop
2. Run PHD2
3. Cursor colour changes to Black when over the camera feed window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Cursor should stay white through out PHD2 GUI but changes to Black when over 
the Camera feed window

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
All version of PHD2 on a Win 7 to Win 7 Remote Desktop

Please provide any additional information below.
I have already spoken to Bruce and we identified it to be a Custom Cursor Issue 
only on a Win 7 to Win 7 remote connection.

Bruce played around on his systems and had the same error and found a work 
around until it can be fixed. This is the work around....

 I seem to be the one who is going to have to figure this out.    I just stumbled across a peculiar behavior and I wonder if you see it on your systems:

1)       Log on to remote system with Remote Desktop.  Run PHD2, observe that 
the star selection cursor is invisible.

2)       Disconnect from Remote Desktop.  On the host system, run PHD2 *first*, 
then log on to that system again via Remote Desktop with PHD2 still running.  
Can you see the cursor now?  On my system, it works fine this way.  

3)       Assuming the above works, from the Remote Desktop system, shut down 
the running instance of PHD2, then start it again.  Can you still see the 
cursor?  On my system, this also works.  

I’m not claiming this is a fix to the problem, but I’d like to know if 
we’re seeing the same behavior.

By the way, Remote Desktop on these Win7 systems seems to have a bunch of 
instabilities – I’ve created several BSODs doing it, something I’ve never 
seen before on Win7. L

Thanks.

Bruce
