Tripled cursor in VNCs after VB 6.1.2 upgrade

Post by Donner »

Good afternoon,

I use various VNCs in Windows VirtualBox clients running on Windows. After upgrading from VB 6.0.x to 6.1.2 the mouse pointer in a VNC window is tripled up. This happens with Windows 10 32-bit and 64-bit VB clients, and with RealVNC 5.3.x, VNC Connect 6.19.x, and TigerVNC 1.10.x clients, without regard to the VNC host or server. Is this a bug, or is there a (new) setting to mitigate this behaviour?

Thanks!

Have found a solution. In RealVNC 5.3.x Viewer's Expert settings, toggling UserLocalCursor to False eliminates the duplicated cursor. I suspect there are analogs for other VNCs.
