 Description   

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition's PC mouse cursor will show on the screen when it shouldn't and doesn't go away until you open a chest or switch between items you have in your hand.

Steps to duplicate

  • Open your minecraft game fresh.
  • Open a creative or survival world.
    The mouse is always on the screen near the cross hair in the middle of your screen until you open a chest or scroll switch between items.

The mouse cursor disappears after a click atm.

@Sup Oh really, hmm maybe just me then. Okay it maybe not related to this bug, so sad, I think I gonna create a new thread.

@trg: Oh, I see. The taskbar and title bar are appearing WHILE you're playing and the cursor is supposed to be locked in the middle. That's definitely a bug. I thought that only happened when you were on a menu screen/inventory. Ok then. I've never experienced that bug before. I wonder what we're doing different, because I can't seem to reproduce that bug in particular...

@SuperGeniusZeb don't you see it annoying, when that bar appear, and if you click on that, the game lost focus, like you hit Escape button but the game is not paused. Imagine you are in battle and you spam left click, then suddenly you click another app on the status bar, , then you may die just because a silly reason, a terrible UX. Beside, I'm talking when I see only the crosshair on screen, if I see the cursor for eg when open an inventory, ok I agree.

@trg: Wait, I thought it was intentional that moving your mouse to the top and bottom would bring up the window bar and taskbar respectively. I think all UWP (Universal Windows Platform) apps do this.

Confirmed on 0.15, more bug is that when you move cursor to very low, you see the start bar, move to very high, you see the menu bar.

Confirmed for 0.15.0 on Windows 10. Happens every time you switch windows and switch back to the game. Punching, right-clicking, & switching items all make the mouse cursor disappear, so it isn't too much of an issue.

This bug was submitted for testing, thanks for all the reports!

This is somewhat still affecting 0.13.0. I still get intermittent windows "arrow" cursor showing up on my screen even though we have that new circle cursor (which I think is pretty great)

EDIT: this is most prevalent if you move your mouse to the top of the screen and reveal the application bar, then its hard to get the cursor to go away.

Same here; one laptop with touch; one desktop without. Both show the issue after upgrade win10.

Comment by Caleb [ 14/Nov/15 ]

hmm i never even used a chest all i did was hit and went to my inventory

Comment by Justin Nicolay [ 14/Nov/15 ]

I do not have a touch enabled PC, just installed the Threshold 2 update, I'm having the same exact issues as stated above.

Comment by Liam Whitt [ 14/Nov/15 ]

Confirmed. The cursor is glitchy in 0.12.3 of Windows 10 Edition Beta (cursor appears where it's not supposed to, cursor doesn't appear when it IS supposed to, sometimes it's not even there at all), and I just installed the Windows 10 Threshold 2 Update. Also, to answer rplatham's question, I do not have touch input on the computer I have.

Comment by Caleb [ 13/Nov/15 ]

I do not have touch input. also the right picture i forgot you cannot snip or or print screen with the mouse cursor.

Comment by rplatham [ 13/Nov/15 ]

Are either of you running touch enabled Windows 10 devices? Put another way, is anyone experiencing this bug on a Windows 10 device that does not have touch input?

Comment by gatharian [ 13/Nov/15 ]

Confirmed for Minecraft Window 10 Edition on PC running Windows 10 Threshold 2.
