Re: Cursor disappears when arrow key(s) held down

Jeff, Ken,

Yes, we know about this and are actively working on it - no APAR to track
yet but there will be. It can be worse if you home directory is
re-directed to a network share...

Jeff,

I usually turn off the Outline view, but I NOW leave it on...

Because otherwise, I do NOT get to see some options in the Outline view....

And the live outline view parser, now seems fairly stable... <Joy Joy>

But a disappearing cursor is slightly annoying. I can live with that. I
guess Eclipse is doing a LOT of parsing for colors & etc behind the
scenes... <grin>

Well, I tried turning off the live outline and it made no difference.

But it is annoying. :)

Jeff,

I definably have experienced that myself too!

So, instead of HOLDING the Arrow keys, I tap them, and it seems to
work fine...

Or I hold it for a little bit, and then release to see where it has

gone...

I wonder if this is due to the Live Outline Parsing? <Just a guess>

PS. On previously version, I do NOT remember having this slight
annoyance... <grin>

All,

I'm in the habit that when I want to go up or down X number of lines,
I don't grab the mouse, I just press and hold the up/down arrow to get

there.

When I do this, the cursor disappears (becomes invisible) and I
cannot tell when I'm near the line I want. The cursor reappears when
I release the arrow button The same thing happens when I press and
hold the left/right arrow keys to move X number of spaces.

This started when I switched from WinXP 32bit / RDi 8.5 to Win7 64bit
/ RDi
9.01 a few weeks ago.

Since I switched the OS and the version of RDi at the same time, I
don't know which of these is causing it. I tried turning live outline
off to see if that was it but it made no difference.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks.
