Subject: 23.3; proteus avoidance mode leaves random pointer shape
Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2011 01:35:38 +0100

Hi,

in emacs -Q, eval

  (mouse-avoidance-mode 'proteus)

This animates with random pointer shapes.  The problem is that it
doesn't restore the `x-pointer-shape' after an animation.  If you are
unlucky, you end up with an invisible pointer over text areas after the
animation.  Not good.


BTW:  If I eval

  (mouse-avoidance-mode 'proteus)

in Emacs 24 (GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.2.2)
of 2011-11-21 on keller, modified by Debian), this seems to have no
effect at all.  I saw no related change in the News file.

Regards,
Michael
