Created attachment 65148 [details] Screenshot The move cursor from Windows theme is not being when moving. Instead, LibO seems to provide a similar image of its own (which of course is not as aesthetically pleasing as the one from Aero theme). Check out the screenshot. Windows does not leave the mouse cursor in screenshots, so I had to paste another one from the web, but it's close enough to what we have and serves well for comparison.
Err, sorry, the first sentence meant to say this: The move cursor from Windows theme is not being used when moving objects.
What I know is that taking a screenshot excludes (removes) the mouse pointer. Screenshot taking is a utility in the Operating system, not in the application (in our case Libreoffice).

I am NOT reporting that cursors are being removed from the screenshots. What I'm reporting is that LibreOffice uses its own Move cursor instead of using one provided by Windows.

Confirming that the issue still exists in LibO 4.3.5/Windows. Note that although the OS is set to All in this bug report, I can't remember offhand whether this issue exists in non-windows operating systems. It could be that it is Windows-specific, much like bug 53151 is.

This bug fix is mentioned in the release notes of the coming LibreOffice 5.0 (see release notes https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0). Therefore it would be wonderful if this feature really worked well, otherwise it should not be mentioned in the release notes. In the notes it reads: Many hardcoded cursors, drawn back in the StarOffice era to support now-obsolete Windows versions, were dropped in favor of native cursors, which have a more modern look. tdf#53148 tdf#53151 (Rimas Kudelis)

Are you saying it doesn't work well, or was this just an automated message that can be safely ignored?
(In reply to Rimas Kudelis from comment #8) > Are you saying it doesn't work well, or was this just an automated message > that can be safely ignored? Hi Rimas Kudelis, There are indeed some issues with the cursors under Windows right now - see Bug 91485. Can you look at that please? Thanks.
