Mouse cursor showing/hiding issue in fullscreen

Postby theboss50 » 16 Dec 2018 11:01

Hi, I write here for an issue on automatic "showing/hiding mouse cursor" event in fullscreen mode.

If VLC is in fullscreen mode, the video output become blue for a moment every time the mouse cursor is shown (due a movement) or hidden (due inactivity).
This causing two annoying flickers (on showing and hiding cursor) when the mouse cursor is moved.

The issue happens only if "Direct3D11 video output" is selected, while it not happens if "Direct3D9 video output" is selected.

I'm using the latest VLC release (v3.0.4), Windows 10 1809 x64, and an "ATI Sapphire R7 240 2GB" video card.

This is the VLC debug log:
https://pastebin.com/9W3s1JFW

I think that happens something that the log not capture, because I see only an "auto hiding mouse cursor" event:

Code: Select all

qt debug: Qt: Entering Fullscreen main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'fullscreen' 1 main debug: resized to 1920x1080 main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'resize' 1920x1080 main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'resize' 1920x1080 direct3d11 debug: Detected size change 1920x1080 main debug: auto hiding mouse cursor main debug: auto hiding mouse cursor qt debug: Qt: Fullscreen state changed main debug: VoutDisplayEvent 'fullscreen' 0 qt debug: Qt: Quitting Fullscreen

Can you fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Update: I tried with v3.0.5, and the problem with Direct3D11 is still present. The fix proposed (use Direct3D9) works also in new version.
