Mouse Cursor disappears on host machine when not activated #89

Open dotHTM opened 3 years ago

dotHTM commented 3 years ago

What you were trying to do (and why)

Open a new window in any application on the host machine.

What happened (include any debug output)

The mouse cursor disappears.

What you expected to happen

The mouse cursor to stay visible, teleport should not be hiding the mouse cursor since I'm not controlling the shared machine.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Start teleport on both Macs. Enable "Share this Mac" on the Client Mac. Configure the layout on the Server Mac. Use teleport to move to the Client Mac using a hotkey. Teleport back to the Server Mac using a hotkey. Open an app -> The mouse disappears.

While the mouse is hidden, clicking is still active (just the cursor is invisible). Switching apps can fix the mouse (reappears).

This can also happen when activating the Teleport configuration window. Switching away from the Teleport window restores the cursor, and options can be set using the Command-Click trick to interact with background windows without bringing them to front.

Environment information

Server (Mac with keyboard and pointing device)

Client (Mac being remotely controlled)
