88James88 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi - my pointer cursor has started changing form to a shape I haven't noticed before. And it stays that way until I left click something. It even stays in this shape when I move the cursor to my 2nd monitor (until I click something). It becomes a horizontal bar with a downward pointing arrow below. Image attached. It appears any where on the logic tracks or mixer window - not just on edges. What the heck is it and how do I deactivate it? Thanks for any info/help you can provide.

scg Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) That's the cursor you get (in some cases) when hovering over a moveable UI boundary. Usually there are arrows both up and down (edit: or left and right, but in this particular case it's the cursor for horizontal UI boundaries), but you can get just the down one e.g. when hovering over the bottom edge of the global tracks area when the area is already at its minimum height. Not sure about the stuck cursor though, other than that I think I may have observed similar behavior at times.

88James88 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 Thanks for replying scg and identifying the cursor. Yes I've seen the usual 2 arrow moveable UI boundary cursor. And now that you mention it, I do see it as the bottom edge cursor. Still, it pops up at odd times and stays stuck. Also, the cursor can be the pointer tool on my monitor with the Logic tracks window showing, and then when I move the cursor to my 2nd monitor into this logicprohelp forum post it changes to the boundary cursor. image attached. Thanks again, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gacki Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 This seems to happen when another program has changed the cursor type and then there seems to be some kind of internal mixup. Happens to me infrequently, too. In my case the culprit seems to be "Transcribe!". Clicking into the program that originated the change usually cures the problem.

Solution David Nahmani Posted February 10 Solution Share Posted February 10 Unfortunately cursor graphical glitches are common in Logic and on the Mac, so there's nothing really surprising here. That specific cursor is used for example to open the Control bar in your Main window when the Control bar is hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonshu Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I get wrong cursors all the time when ProTools runs - even (or especially) when ProTools is not active in the foreground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
