Cursor Disappearing When Holding Cursor Key |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer has a Datrex 386 clone computer, and a 25 mhz Viking 1 1280 x 920 monitor and graphics card. He has a problem with his cursor disappearing from his screen when he tries to scroll through his document. This only happens with his full page Viking-1 monitor. To be more specific, when he holds down the left arrow key or the down arrow key to scroll through his document his cursor disappears until he releases the key. (If he uses the mouse to move his cursor, his cursor does not move.) He experienced the problem with the cursor keys with WP 5.0 when he was using the graphic driver provided by Viking. He called and spoke with Viking's support and they duplicated the problem and said that there wasn't anything they could do because the problem was "unique to the way WordPerfect is set up." He indicated that sometimes the cursor will appear and then disappear again while the key is still depressed. Solutions: This is not a function of WP's driver. The blink rate of the hardware is causing the cursor to disappear when the cursor arrows are used. One work around is to set the cursor to non-blink. |
