Resize/Restore button draws over mouse

[j_freeman@…]

The Resize/Restore Window button in applications will draw over the mouse cursor when clicked.

I was running Philipp Schmid's rev16108 (2006-02-02) HDD image under VMware Player to produce this quirk. To reproduce this bug, simply move the mouse cursor over any Resize/Restore Window button on an application's titlebar, click, and look closely. You should see the yellow lines (of the button) over the cursor (unless, of course, the cursor was moved).

This happens on the Close Window button as well. Just put the cursor over the Close button and press down (but do not release) and you will see the border of the button drawn over the mouse cursor.

This is a known bug, but thanks for reporting.

I don't know if it's the same bug as this one, but the same effect happens with checkboxes, while unchecking a checked one. Checking an empty checkbox appears to be immune to this bug.

This is rather odd, as the region that draws over the mouse shouldn't be updated at all, AFAICT. I'm letting Stephan try to solve this, as he has a better understanding of the drawing engine.

To add just a bit more oddness to this bug, this doesn't happen on real hardware for me. I can only reproduce it under QEMU.

Same here, only happens under VMware or Qemu... not real hardware. Bizarre.

Maybe not so bizarre. It should probably happen on real hardware too if you chose a 16 bit screen depth.

I've tested this in 32-bit colorspace in VMware, also. You'd think if it did this there, it'd do it on real hardware in 32-bit colorspace too.

Another note, yesterday I was testing on real hardware... and it looked like the yellow lines were being drawn, but the mouse cursor would draw over it... There'd definitely be a short delay and you could see the yellow lines being drawn if you look close enough. Does the cursor behave differently on real hardware, i.e. hardware cursor?

I also thought of another thing, I haven't tested this on real hardware using VESA... only using the Rudolf's GF driver. So could this only effect VESA modes? That would explain why I've only reproduced it in VMware.
