On the boring-but-utterly-reliable pedestrian e-mail box (e-Machine 600, 98SE-Lite, SeaMonkey, etc.)
From time to time, the mouse (Logi Trackman, actually) ceases to show cursor.. over a sorta blotch of non-space (say, ~~ quadrant III of the screen.) Natch its little sensor window is clean, etc.
Invariably (thus far..) clicking once on screen in the cursor-visible area - cures it.
Another Trackman -- but sans scroll wheel, on the two Doze + various-Linuxes boxes (swapped by a bitchin KVM switch: Thanks again, Scott!!)
-- does not seem to enter this no-phase-space twilight zone. Thus unclear if symptoms go with gadget or Doze/SeaMonkey, less'n I swap meese next, to eliminate one more Yes/No.
But the cursor(y)-thought experiment reveals that I grok insufficiently the layers of I/O and tasks.. just to highlight Hello World, You Asshole Seems like some FEEFIFO-fum buffer is lazy, but... ie.
Wassup with this hitch in the getalong (to use the technical term) ??
