I've noticed an annoying problem that just started ever since the SFN logo was updated with the falling snow effect. I didn't realize it had anything to do with it until now. But in the edit box, my cursor starts flickering as I scroll the SFN logo into view and completely disappears once it's fully in view. As soon as I scroll it off the screen, my cursor reappears and blinks normally.

 

It's as if the effect is causing "cursor blinkage overload"...

 

Anybody know how to fix that?

Hmm... I see that in Firefox 2.0 as well.

 

I'll see if there's a bug in Firefox filed for that.

yeah looks like a firefox issue, safari doesn't have a problem with it.

Filed a bug and added a testcase.

i don't have that problem. nothing flickers at all i use firefox on ubuntu

Just so you know, I don't use Firefox. I'm just using plain jane IE...

Well, it's been fixed in Firefox nightly versions.

 

Can't submit a bug to IE though. I guess it's a similar problem.

Well, now that I know what's doing it I can just scroll it off of the screen. For a few weeks there I had no idea and was mildly suspicious of being monitored by IT. But then I noticed it at home too and decided that's just paranoia...

Does it cause problems when you're typing, or is it just mildly irritating?

Nah, it's just mildly irritating. Although, when the cursor disappears it's hard to find your place as you're typing and editing. But since I know to scroll the logo off the screen, it's no big deal at all. Thanks for checking into it.

funny how you have the only two computers out of everyone in this thread to have the problem.

 

Any similarities in the machines?

 

Graphics Refresh problem?
