Mouse Cursor Stuck in Lower Left in PyGame Fullscreen

[AndrewZ]

I've only been working with PyGame and the touchscreen for a couple days, and I've hit something frustrating in my experiments tonight. Previously I wasn't going fullscreen with PyGame, just a nearly fullscreen window. Things worked great, tapping in my zones got the right inputs into code, my program behaved the way I expected, all was well. So I added a keyboard button to quit the program if needed, and bravely went fullscreen, and that's when my problems began...

When in fullscreen mode the first two taps on the screen register correctly, but the third and all subsequent taps register at 799, 479, or the lower right corner of the display.

Also worth noting is that this doesn't happen when the mouse cursor is visible, only when I hide the mouse cursor with

Code: Select all

pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)

.

Have I run into some strange bug with PyGame and the Office Foundation Display, or is something else going on?

For now my work around is setting a very small mouse cursor.

Code: Select all

pygame.mouse.set_visible(True)
pygame.mouse.set_cursor((8, 8), (4, 4), (24, 24, 24, 231, 231, 24, 24, 24), (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0))

Not ideal, but close enough for now.

Hi,
would you be able to post some same code?
I have this problem, and I see that a lot of others have too. When you mention 'fullscreen' or not, are you working within X-Windows?
thanks,
Texy

Here's My Code for review. It's been a while since I worked on it, but it runs full screen under Xwindows.
