Bug: Blinking Cursor during remote access on Windows PCs #3663

Open johnnyq opened 2 years ago

johnnyq commented 2 years ago

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 commented 2 years ago

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

dooley74 commented 2 years ago

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

krayon007 commented 2 years ago

Yes, it is the same.

dooley74 commented 2 years ago

How is the fix for this progressing?

krayon007 commented 2 years ago

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 commented 2 years ago

Any progress on resolving this?

krayon007 commented 2 years ago

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

dooley74 commented 2 years ago

How goes the KVM overhaul?

openncomp commented 2 years ago

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

DevOps-88 commented 1 year ago

Hello

Has this bug been fixed in a new version?

DevOps-88 commented 1 year ago

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

si458 commented 1 year ago

@DevOps-88 development is on hold https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/discussions/4795 if you can patch it yourself,we are happy to accept pull requests! 👍

devwizard038 commented 1 year ago

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

johnnyq commented 1 year ago

@wizarddev038 Please submit a pull request we could all benefit off this Thanks

devwizard038 commented 1 year ago

Would you invite me as a collaborator in MeshAgent? I'd like to commit myself for the success of MeshAgent.

si458 commented 1 year ago

@wizarddev038 sadly that's down to @Ylianst , but if u submit a PR in the MeshAgent repo I'm sure he will accept it!

devwizard038 commented 1 year ago

I submitted a pull request to Ylian's repository

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

Hello, sorry for this question, I'm super new with MC, just installed last week. Blinking cursors on all indows 10/11 machines. Can you help me on how do I build the build the agents?

devwizard038 commented 3 months ago

Hi. How are you? The agent is built with Visual Studio. You can build this with Visual Studio 2022. The cursor is blinking because there was a problem with bitblt, if my memory serves me. Please check the updates. If you have any question, please contact me via email or other chatting apps. I'm always open.

efschu commented 2 weeks ago

I have recently installed 1.1.30, and I still see this bug. Thought the cursor blink patch was merged? I'm wrong?

si458 commented 2 weeks ago

It's been merged but no new agents have been released so you will still see this until we release new agents
