    Desired behavior:I should be able to close a fullscreen google chrome tab by moving my mouse as far up and to the right as it will go and left clicking.Observed behavior:When performing the above actions on a monitor with display scale 125%+, the left click will either interact with the desktop, or any windows behind the fullscreen google chrome tab.I have tried figuring out littlebigmouse, but it doesn't seem like the type of issue that program can solve.

  2. Mouse sensitivity messed up if display scale is not 100%

    I'm using a 3840x2160 monitor, with display scale set to 200%.

    My mouse sensitivity become twice faster as before compare to 100% scaling. I simply check some settings, and I found that if I set display scale to 100%, my mouse speed was normal as before.

    I found that when under 200% scale, my cursor move at least 2 pixel per move. Which is not right. By not right I mean this is not the intention of me. I want to have the ability to move my pointer with accuracy.

    Is there a way to disable this feature? I want pixel accuracy for my mouse under 200% scaling.

    Mouse cursor displayed without offset

    When the mouse cursor changes to one that should be displayed with an offset (e.g., the hand cursor should be displayed slightly to the left so that the tip of the finger matches the mouse position) it is not and instead is drawn with the same position as the default pointer.

    This is not specific to any program. Hovering a link the web browser shows the hand cursor to the right of where it should be. The cross-hair pointer in paint is down and to the right of where it should be. The I-beam cursor for text selection is to the right in any text editor, etc. (oddly, Steps Recorder's screen shots show the cursor in the correct position, though it was wrong when the recording was in progress.) Only the arrow pointer where the tip is in the top-left and needs no offset is correct.

    I've tried the following:

    • Rebooted the computer
    • Removed the mouse from device manager, then reconnected it on a different USB port
    • Checked for windows updates, installed, and rebooted
    • Changed the mouse pointer settings (speed, appearance, DPI, etc.)
    • Installed the latest drivers for the graphics card and rebooted.
    With no effect on the issue.

    Mouse cursor too big

    Hi all,

    Mouse cursor in Windows 10 scales with the display size. If we go to display -> scale and layout, and we set 100, 125, 150% etc size we get the respected pointer size - the bigger the size the larger the mouse cursor. This is quite logical except when we want to to adjust the size of the mouse cursor independently of the display size and make it smaller - no such option.

    I wondered if any of you knows some registry key for where we can specify the mouse pointer scale ratio, so that we could have 200% font and 125% mouse cursor size for example.

    Thank you for reading.

  4. Enable unsupported display scaling scale presets on odd sized displays

    Enable unsupported display scaling scale presets on odd sized displays: Hi, my Zenbook Pro 14 Duo has an odd sized secondary display at 2880x864. It seems the logic in W11 for what scaling presets to allow is based on vertical resolution thats my best guess, since on this high DPI display it will only allow 100 or 125% setttings.
