    hide pointer while typing doesn't work?


    I cannot get my cursor to disappear while typing. It is really messing with a few programs I use.


    - Yes, I double checked the mouse settings; hide pointer while typing is checked.

    - Drivers are all up to date with none of them recently being updated to change anything.


    I noticed the only program my cursor disappears on so far for some reason while typing is notepad. Not sure what else I can try to do.

    :)

    Mouse settings: Hide pointer while typing has no effect


    In Windows 10 there is this option called "Hide pointer while typing" under
    Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Options


    hide pointer while typing doesn't work? [​IMG]


    The idea behind this option makes really sense.
    However, it does not seem to have any effect on the following apps I tried. They all behave in the following ways regardless of whether this option is checked or not:

    • Notepad and WordPad: Pointer is always hidden while typing.
    • Notepad++: Pointer is never hidden while typing.
    • MS Word 2016: Pointer is hidden while typing; however hitting the shift key makes it reappear, which of course happens all the time while typing resulting in a flickering pointer...

    The behaviour of Word 2016 is the worst of all. While I would prefer the pointer really being hidden while typing, a pointer that is never hidden is still better than that flickering pointer!

    Can anybody confirm this behaviour or knows how to resolve it?

  3. Double Tap doesn`t work on Lumia 620

    Hello,

    Double Tap to wake doesn`t work at my Lumia 620. I have all on in settings but still doesn`t work. I`m pretty sure that in update AMBER or BLACK this function works properly. But after DENIM update doesn`t. Maybe you are planning some update for this future
    ?

    Thanks
