Flickering Mouse Cursor in Fullscreen during Animations

Post by FliegenderZirkus »

Hello everyone,

I have created the following presentation (file size 4.5MB) :

http://www.cirkus.tode.cz/wp-content/up ... _Kolda.pdf

On slides 8, 14 and 15 there are animations created by the animate package, e.g. like this.

Code: Select all

\animategraphics[scale=0.8, loop, controls, buttonsize=4mm]{10}{4Deska}{1}{16}
When you play the animations in full screen mode, the mouse cursor flashes and flickers. Any idea how to get rid of that behaviour? The frames I use are vector graphics so it might be quite demanding for the machine to draw the animation, but there is no flickering in window mode, at least not on my system.

Thank you for any tips!

And you are sure that this problem is related to LaTeX and not to the used viewer?

You are right, even the example animations in the manual exhibit this cursor-flikering behaviour in full-screen, so there is probably nothing I can improve about my LaTeX code. :(

The package is specifically aimed at using Adobe Reader and I have the newest version, so I will just give up and prefer content over form! :D

Perhaps this is worth a note to the package author. I think he is the best addressee for this issue.

Yes, it is an annoying feature of Adobe Reader in the fullscreen mode. It was introduced between versions 7 and 8.
