[Only in studio, so nevermind] Bug: Flickering and jittering mouse icon during 1st person

The bug:

  • In 1st person, the mouse icon will jitter off-center and flicker. Tested and confirmed with default icon as well as manually setting it with playermouse.

To reproduce:

  • zoom in and start looking around
  • or force first person through the player and look around

What I expect when zoomed in:

  • the mouse icon to stay centered with zero flicker or jitter like it was many years ago

How old is this bug:

  • at least a year and a half (it started around the same time tools felt more snappy to your camera while in first person, as seen in an old blog post)

(Temporary super ugly solution that isn’t supported in any way:)

  • set mouse icon to a fully transparent image in the catalog
  • then center an image label in the center of the screen emulating the icon
  • but this isn’t a viable option because many nice mouse event happen that change the icon subtly

Doesn’t this only happen in studio?

You may be right, gollygreg. Half my waking hours are spent in the studio test modes. Testing in an online game and you’re right.

Carry on, then.
