Does Ayone Else See This Problem?
Cursor Flicker
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 by DrJBHL | Discussion: Community
I would have posted this under Site Issues, but I couldn't find that.
So, from this morning, when I navigate to WC, my cursor flickers and disappears, independent of whether CursorXP is in use or not and happens before and after uninstall/reinstall.
This happens with Opera, ie8, and FF3.
It's happening only on the WC homepage, but not at any other site and stops after I leave the Homepage for Galleries or Forums.
I'd post my system info, but I don't think that's relevant as it only happens on the Homepage.
Anyone else seeing this or is it time to see the Ophthalmologist?

Do not adjust your set.(or your glasses)
I have had the same thing happen,Doc. Mainly when mousing over the toolbar/titlebar area.I cleared cookies,cache,and cursed,but it still did it. It only did it on the WC site,which I thought odd.
It seems to be ok now though.
Now why didn't I think of that,WG?

Just went back to the Homepage, Wiz....still doing it...it's never done that before. Could it be the Tekzilla-Fence Vid post?

When the home page loads look quickly at the Tekzilla article,there is a brief image there before the correct one loads.Afterwards the cursor will flicker. If I then mouse over the Tekzilla article graphics the flicker stops for me.

Looks like it's the embedded video in the Tekzilla news item...
Steals cursor/window Z-order ....

I, too have the cursor issue, but worse, the Tekzilla news item won't play so I went to the website and downloaded it and when I tried to play it my computer blue screened on me. I think I don't want anything to do with this news articles!

I got it too. If I don't move the cursor it disappears and then flickers when I move it.
I thought I was having a stroke

Frankie....this is clearly an SD Design plot to steal our cursors.
ALMonty....no stroke...radio.

First time I'm happy that other folks have the same problem, sorry for saying that. 
So Jafo, any ideas on how to fix it? Or should we just wait for tomorrow and bring up to support?

Must have been before my time
Yeah...I got it now. 
So the flashing cursor and the numbness in the left arm was just psychological.

I'll leave it for the 'back-room boffins' to deal with ...when they get in...

I don't use CursorXP but - yes, my humble cursor also freaked out when I tried starting the Tekzilla-Fence vid.

Yeah....mines freakin out too.....or maybe my meds are kickin in!
But if you blink your eyes at the same rate as the cursor you won't notice it. 
But I think it's related to the newest post about fences...as soon as thats all done loading it seems to stop.
