Missing mouse's pointer when ALT+TAB

[lecneri]

Hi,

Sometimes I like to use mouse to select an already opened window when using ALT+TAB. I noticed that the mouse vanishes after alt tab.

Is there anyway to "fix" this?

I need this as well. In CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) I found an "Allow Mouse Selection" setting in the "Static Application Switcher" plugin which was checked by default. I tried unchecking then checking... still nothing :(

same here. but i think it's been like that with every distro for me, and in windows. you don't need your cursor in window switch, might just be like that!

It looks like it's a "todo" for the new Alt-Tab switch. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/830121

Up, and agreed...

We are in 2013 and this issue is still not fixed (on latest Ubuntu)...


When Windows is becoming less and less popular Canonical should profit to fix thos small issues of Ubuntu witch ruins user experience...
