Hello,
One additional glitch I’d like to report with Rhino 8 is that it seems to throw off the Windows custom mouse size at random times. As a low vision user this can slow me down quite a bit as I have to go back to the Windows settings and reset my pointer size.
Best,
Paul
Hi Paul - I take it this is ‘Mouse pointer size’ in control panels?
Initially at least, this seems to work - can you pin down any action that messes it up?
Does V8 behave differently from V7?
-Pascal
Hi Pascal, this is correct. Usually it just resets back to size 1, and then if I move the slider in the settings back up and down it goes back to size 4 where I’d previously had it. Usually the slider is still at size 4 but the mouse is small, and then it jumps back up when I adjust the slider.
I’ll try to figure out when exactly this seems to happen and post it here.
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Paul - I could not reproduce that here so far - I had a larger mouse pointer on for a couple of days and it did not vary.
-Pascal
Hey Pascal,
I finally caught this error and was able to replicate it several times. The mouse would shrink when I opened a file that had the error message: “File uses a font not found on this computer” from Google Drive.
Best,
Paul
Hi Paul - can you please attach one of those files here?
Hi Brian,
Sure, here is the file that I found it on. I’ve pasted a G-Drive link because the file is large.
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Paul - thanks - so far I am still not able to repeat this - still poking at it. Incidentally, if you SaveSmall, this file is only 8 MB.
OK, I got it now… weird. So far this only happens with a new installation (update)
-Pascal
It’s interesting. I’ve only noticed it with that file recently, but if it comes up again and there’s a clear connection between the two files I’ll post it here for reference. Hopefully it’s just a weird isolated thing.
