We'll test those out here and see what we can find out. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cursor-focus-changed-when-random-wallpaper-changes-while-creating-email-in-outlook-2010/?ID=0321bb20-1166-45c7-ad00-b2f654688820#5 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:05:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cursor-focus-changed-when-random-wallpaper-changes-while-creating-email-in-outlook-2010/?ID=0321bb20-1166-45c7-ad00-b2f654688820#5 DisplayFusion Thanks for the additional suggestion, but it doesn’t make any difference.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Set wallpaper to change frequently for testing purposes (1 minute each in two of three monitor windows):
2.From Outlook 2010 email window, select “new email message”. New window opens in which to type an email.
3.Start typing, continue typing through the one minute mark, or just leave the cursor flashing in the new email text box.
4.Wallpaper(s) change at 1 minute, cursor leaves the new email window and returns to the parent Outlook 2010 window. If typing, keystrokes are delivered to parent window instead of new email window.
5.Click back in new email window to resume composing email, after one minute cursor pops back to parent window again. Repeats...

Notes:
*longer times for wallpaper changes don’t make any difference.
*happens in any text box or field of the new message window.
*seems to happen in any child window of Outlook 2010, editing an address, adding an event to the calendar, etc.

I’ll be happy to try another suggestion! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cursor-focus-changed-when-random-wallpaper-changes-while-creating-email-in-outlook-2010/?ID=0321bb20-1166-45c7-ad00-b2f654688820#4 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 20:19:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cursor-focus-changed-when-random-wallpaper-changes-while-creating-email-in-outlook-2010/?ID=0321bb20-1166-45c7-ad00-b2f654688820#4 DisplayFusion Ok, in the DisplayFusion Settings > Advanced Settings window, could you try enabling the "Wallpaper > Use Internal Wallpaper Processing" option? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cursor-focus-changed-when-random-wallpaper-changes-while-creating-email-in-outlook-2010/?ID=0321bb20-1166-45c7-ad00-b2f654688820#3 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 23:02:52 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/cursor-focus-changed-when-random-wallpaper-changes-while-creating-email-in-outlook-2010/?ID=0321bb20-1166-45c7-ad00-b2f654688820#3 DisplayFusion Unfortunately, that is already disabled.

I must click again in the email composing window to get back to typing my email. Because I type a lot of emails in my work, this makes the random wallpaper changer pretty unusable to me. This also occurred before 7.0, and I've seen some similar posts about the cursor being robbed. So far I'm only noticing it in Outlook, and only when Outlook has opened a secondary dialog box for composing an email. It seems that your program tries to return the cursor but it gets returned to the parent window instead of the secondary window. It would be ideal if the cursor never even flickered (was not accessed by the wallpaper change), no less returning focus to an inactive window. ]]>
