View Full Version : Crazy cursor on Vista

In Vista, during transfer, whether FlashFXP is minimized or not, the cursor is constantly switching for less than a second to the working in background cursor. It seems to happen when it goes to the next file in queue but doesn't happen every time it goes to the next file (or maybe it does but it's quick enough sometimes for me not to notice it).

I never noticed this in XP and think that I would have because it's quite annoying when trying to work on other programs while a long transfer is taking place. I don't have this kind of problem with other software working, just seems to be a flashfxp thing with Vista.

Thanks ahead of time.

Thanks for your bug report.

I haven't noticed this but I will do some testing and see what happens.

The application cursor is changed using the standard method, I'm not quite sure why it would change the cursor while FlashFXP is minimized or in the background.

I conducted several different types of tests and I have been unable to reproduce this behavior on windows vista.

I also confirmed that the method we use to change the cursor is local to FlashFXP, The system-wide cursor is never changed.

I'm not really sure why this behavior occurs while FlashFXP is transferring files.
