When the "Prevent mouse cursor from snagging" function triggers a mouse move, a bunch of lines like this will be in the log:

Code
Copy
Select All

- INFO:L1 apphook32.dll HookDLL:32:HookHandlerMouse - MouseWrap: D1: Bottom:Edge, D2: 2 -


I'm not saying that DisplayFusion isn't moving the mouse, just that the log you sent isn't showing it, which is strange.

Can you send me a copy of your troubleshooting info so that I can test with your setup again?

Issue only happens while DF is running. I've created several extensive videos showing this. Also, I've looked through several log files and none make any reference to DF "moving" the mouse. I've spent several minutes moving the mouse and there is no log indicating anything. This is a display 'bounding box' graphical issue with DF, in relation to the windows 10 start menu. Additionally, the issue seams to only appear when applications written in C++ and/or Objective-C are running in the foreground. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#26 Fri, 05 Apr 2019 15:40:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#26 DisplayFusion Thanks, I'm not seeing any entries in the log that would indicate that DF is moving the mouse.

Almost certain it's due to the last DF update.

It's been for a while but I've been ignoring it until now. The initial post was regarding the bug in Windows 10, now that I went back to Windows 8.1 the same issue occurs. It seems that it only occurs when certain applications are launched, I use an old, but powerful, browser Presto 12.15 and the cursor reacts the same as noted above. It also occurs with AutoCad. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#18 Fri, 25 Sep 2015 20:02:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#18 DisplayFusion I'm not a developer myself, so I'm not 100% sure, but it had to do with DisplayFusion getting the wrong values for the screen edge due to the DPI scaling and your specific resolutions/monitor layout. We had fixed up a bunch of DPI scaling bugs with 7.3 final, so it was likely resolved with one of those fixes :) ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#17 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 21:32:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#17 DisplayFusion I'm curious about what caused the bug. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#16 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 19:20:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#16 DisplayFusion Good news! I was finally able to reproduce this with your exact screen resolutions and offsets with DisplayFusion 7.3 Beta 4 (which you were running when you reported it). In the latest version (7.3.1), it's all fixed up, so you should be able to enable the "Prevent mouse cursor from snagging" option again if you like. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#15 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 19:07:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#15 DisplayFusion np. its quite new.nvidia released DSR in driver 322 a year or two ago, IIRC. The only problem I've had with it is Windows scaling and Microsoft and other software is lagging behind. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#14 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 19:36:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#14 DisplayFusion Ahhh I see. I feel a bit silly, but I hadn't previously heard of DSR. Sorry for the confusion!

In that case, I don't think it has anything to do with this issue. I'll have to do some more testing here to see what I can find out.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#13 Sat, 19 Sep 2015 19:03:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#13 DisplayFusion These are correct resolutions while using DSR scaling, it's been in all previous logs for a year. DSR = Dynamic Super Resolution (Nvidia). What you see in the log is correct, and displays the same within Windows Resolutions. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#12 Tue, 15 Sep 2015 19:28:21 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#12 DisplayFusion I'm not sure what you mean by "the DSR factors are normal." The monitor resolutions should show the correct resolutions, regardless of whether scaling is enabled. What resolutions show in the Windows display settings for your monitors? ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#11 Sat, 12 Sep 2015 01:12:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#11 DisplayFusion I've used HiDPI for quite a while, the DSR factors are normal. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#10 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 18:54:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#10 DisplayFusion It lists your monitor models, which I looked up and should be 1920x1200, and 1600x900, but the DisplayFusion troubleshooting info is listing them as 2880x1800 and 2400x1350. ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#9 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 17:29:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#9 DisplayFusion Can you define "listing really weird screen resolutions" ? ]]> RE: Taskbar cursor jump https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#8 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 15:19:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/taskbar-cursor-jump/?ID=b22f07d0-6dc9-483e-b038-be90ab7a0b31#8 DisplayFusion Ok, thanks!

Then again, I'm unsure what software is available to record and preserve mouse-trailing, It would provided a far better detailed view of the issue.

Edit: It could be something with the DF taskbar attempting to stretch over to the second display. That seems quite possible since we've seen issues with the DF taskbar stacking on top (or below) the Windows taskbar.

Additionally, the capture provided is from the secondary display with the Windows taskbar displaying. The primary monitor, partially visible to the left, is running the DF taskbar. I've provided a detailed log. ]]>
