black box around cursor......HELP!!

[SBik2]

after i restarted from the 10.4.8 update... this happened.. I dont know how this happened ...

 

[ghall]

Funky. Did you try restarting again?

 

[SBik2]

yes many times(its too late to call apple so i dont know wut to do

Okay, what's with the "unregistered" in that black box that says "resize" on it? Is that some kind of shareware you use?

 

[SBik2]

i dont know it happens when i press cmd and option...( but the problem with the cursor never goes away unless in expose) and that shareware is called mondo mouse..( i had no clue that black box was from that tho)

 

[iMeowbot]

I don't know it it's related either, but does the box go away if you (for now) disable it in Ssytem Preferences? There could be some incompatibility with 10.4.8, or the demo time could have expired.

ive disable mondo mouse (and its still there....) this box is very very very annoying and i cant stand it) any ideas?(Should i also post in apple's disscussions?)

Not off hand, but the black box did look kind of like something universal Access would do

Yeah, this doesn't look like any normal software feature.

fixed

RADe8 on the apple forums solved it by these steps...

"On ThinkSecret, Kichaka gave a solution to someone concerning this:

"Sys Preferences -> Universal Access -> Zoom Options -> uncheck 'Show preview rectangle when zoomed out.'"

I wouldn't have found that in a hundred years, myself.

Good luck! "

Thanks everyone for their concerns

Oh now I see! You only get the frame if maximum zoom is set to non-zero. What a quirky little feature.

Thanks for sharing the cause for the next time someone runs into this!
