?[9.0b4] Cursor flickering

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

?[9.0b4] Cursor flickering

Post by *wanderer »

- Open TC in C:
- Activate right panel
- Enter Windows folder
- Press CTRL + Left key.

This makes the left panel also show C:\Windows. Now start pressing tab to switch between the left and right panels. Notice (at least in my case it's very noticeable) that when the cursor enters the right panel, it just stays. When it enters the left panel, it appears, briefly disappears as if you have pressed tab again and then it reappears and stays.

Settings (Display/Color):
- Use windows theme
- Use inverted cursor
- Use inverted selection

All three checkboxes are unchecked.

NOT confirmed. Tried on Windows 7 with Aero theme. What settings do you use?

When I press CTRL+Left the mouse cursor is flickering. The mouse cursor changes to clock symbol for milli seconds. But I think your are talking about an other thing.

Aha, I thought the "-" was used as bullets. as you used them here:
- Open TC in C:
- Activate right panel
- Enter Windows folder
- Press CTRL + Left key.
But I can still not reproduce it - can you reproduce it yourself wit a clean ini (except for the "- Use windows theme" setting) ?

Great. I've spent quite some time trying to reproduce it and i can't any more, not only with a new INI but with my existing one too.

I can't be sure what could have happened to trigger that behaviour, but since it's not reproducible, case closed...

OK, please create a new bug report with step by step instructions if you can again reproduce it.
