mouse cursor not always what it should be

[dieterdreist]

Since some versions the mousecursor (e.g. add node) is not always indicating the mode. Sometimes (also after a while) it gets a normal arrow-pointer.

Please try to make it reproducable. What needs to be done to get it wrong. Whenever it gets wrong try to reproduce your previous steps as exactly as possible and when you get it reproducable post necessary steps here.

Replying to stoecker:

I'm not completely sure (happens after quite a lot of editing) what leads to this, but happened several times recently (past few days but never before in the past). It might be associated with the select-mode-"plus(+)"-feature. E.g. the add-node-cursor is replaced by the normal arrow after a while.

[stoecker]

Reopen when reproducible.

I think I can reproduce something similar to this that might help.

I was just playing around and somehow did it. Then I try the same thing again and was able to reproduce it 9 times out of every 10.

Here's how to do it.

1. Download a small area into JOSM.
2. Hit the "s" button to be able to select nodes.
3. Right click on the screen (doesn't matter where) and almost simultaneously click the left click button once the pan cursor shows up.

Results:
The panning image for the right click of the select mode (s) gets locked and will not go back to the normal select mode mouse cursor unless you select another mode.

It might take a couple of tries to get this to happen, but it does happen. And it was just luck that I discovered this and also noticing this ticket get closed today.

In [3919/josm]:

unify cursor handling, hopefully fix #5381

[skyper]

I noticed this bug again lately. Sorry can not reproduce right now but I did indeed download several small areas. The cursor locks as arrow pointing NW without rectangle. Switching modes usually unlocks it again.

Just happened again. Different machine same system. This time with some plugins installed and an detached image view. I have four layers (one geotagged images, one gpx single track, one data and one imagery layer). Did not download this time and changing modes did not help but changing windows with WM.

Just happened again right after download. Did not delete preferences yesterday. If there is any more infomation needed, please tell me what you need.

[michael2402]

Still in the current version. Happens after switching a lot between Add and Select (and having some selection active): Sometimes the cursor info just gets lost and is the default mouse pointer.

[Don-vip]

Can't reproduce.

[skyper]

I still have this problem. It happens regularly but I do not have a step by step description. It only happens after some time of working and the result is that only the default select cursor icon is displayed regardless the editing mode or modifier keys. One way to get the proper cursor displayed again is using windows key twice, e.g. show all open applications windows.

What can I do to gather more information the next time I'll face the problem?

[skyper]

I just happened again. I will continue editing and it will probably happen again within this session.

[skyper]

Finally, I managed to reproduce it. I think it is related to blocking dialogs like download dialog or search and the position of the mouse pointer:

1. create a new layer
2. switch to "Draw" mode and draw a way
3. open search dialog (Ctrl+F) with empty string
4. move the cursor outside the search dialog
5. Press Enter or Return

The cursor remains an arrow instead of the cross. Clicking into map view adds a new node and the cursor changes to the cross.

#22870 is probably a duplicate.

I am still noticing this problem from time to time. The download dialog (#22870) is definitely another dialog which can lead to it. In my case, it works again after pressing the windows key twice (e.g. show all application windows).

Just happened again:

1. Have an empty layer and an imagery layer
2. Download a small area to the empty data layer
3. Mouse pointer always remains an arrow despite changing the edit mode
4. Pressing the windows key twice bring it back to normal behavior.
