Bug?: Mousecursor visible in output, MacOS

Post by mfo »

Hey
Another probably minor bug, on macOS, Snowleopard, the mousecursor is visible in the output. On my windows7 notebook this does not happen.
Would be nice to get it hidden under Snowleopard as well.
Bests,
Marcel

To hide the mouse, we use a bit of code that will always put the output window on top of everything else. This way it should also hide any other windows that may pop up.

Works great on Windows, but it turns out that the only way this will work on OSX is when the output window is actually in focus. So when you click the output window, the mouse will disappear, but thanks to Apple there is no other way we can hide that fella.

Believe me, we're as annoyed about this as you are, but I'm afraid there's no fix for this.
