Mouse cursor visible with -s in urxvt #229

I have a large custom cursor, when using -s and drag-selecting on top of urxvt, I get a piece of the cursor left in the image. It seems to work fine in other applications such as firefox, though I've not tested other terminals. Compositor on/off doesn't matter, the above image is taken when picom is off.

You could blame my giant cursor like she said, but this doesn't happen with scrot. One solution is to drag the cursor insanely quick as soon as you let go, but it's really difficult to pull off.

At least the left/top borders are gone when using maim/slop :+1:

After some testing I managed to make it fail in firefox as well, by drag-selecting onto some text. So now I know why it happens, it happens when the mouse changes into a "text cursor" after you're done selecting, which in my case is large enough to imprint the selected area. Any ideas? Is it even possible to fix? Or should I just... shrink.

There is a flag in maim:

-u, --hidecursor
              By  default  maim super-imposes the cursor onto the image, you can
              disable that behavior with this flag.

Have you tried this one?

Oof!

I can't believe how simple that was, I wish I'd checked but at the same time I don't think I would've guessed such an option would exist. Thanks a lot!

Ye, that sometimes happens with me, too.

Thanks a lot!

You are welcome.
