Hide that mouse!?

Thanks, Leslie!

Hi Dick! Looks like Jonathan is assisting you and I will continue to follow along in the progress.

Hi Dick! I popped in to check on your case and see where Jonathan reported your issue to the QA Team.

Hi Leslie - any update on this so the community can see the workaround?

thanks

Hi Ripple,

No further updates from our QA team - but it does seem that the mouse cursor was only moving to be the top most item on the timeline after another object was added to the slide. This forum discussion is included in the report we filed so that we can share any updates and additional information with you here once available. 

Same question here.  We want to treat the mouse as if it was an object so that we get the benefit of the demonstration ("Hey learner, click here"), but once it has showed the learner what to do, we want the mouse to go away as the learner is already trained on what to do with the rest of the clickable objects on the screen.  

Hey Raquel - I do not have an update to provide on the issue that was shared with the QA Team. This thread is included in the report and for update when applicable.

Hi Mike,

Nothing new yet, but it's helpful to understand how many people are experiencing this and how often. We are working to better prioritize issues and I will update the report.

Thanks Leslie.

Woohoo, I figured out a workaround for the mouse remaining onscreen. In the timeline, you can move the mouse down level. This means you can place an object over the mouse to hide it. Likely, if you're using screenshots/screen captures for your interaction, place an additional screenshot over the mouse when you need the mouse to disappear. Just know that the mouse will fight you back...occasionally, it will jump to the top most level if you are changing the timing or moving objects around to different levels on the timeline. Just throw it back under the object when that happens. For the "comprehension impaired" like myself, see the attached visual explanation.
