Edge bug

Topic

Last version of Edge (133.0.3065.59) display the trail of the mouse on the screen when you do a mouse gesture, even if the toggle switch for this feature is set to “off”.

This behaviour is wrong.

Hi WSaltamirano:

What is your Win 10 OS build number (e.g., 19045.5371, 19045.5487, etc.), and are you referring to a Win 10 setting or a MS Edge setting?

My Win 10 setting at Settings | Devices | Mouse | Additional Mouse Options | Pointer Options | Visibility | Display Pointer Trails is OFF and I don’t see any pointer trails when I use the current MS Edge (Stable Channel) v133.0.3065.59 released on 10-Feb-2024.

My build number is 19045.5371.

The problem i’m talking about is a Edge setting.

If you use the mouse gesture feature (right button movement to open,close, previous page, etc..) you have the option of not showing on the screen the trail of the movement you did but

since the last version of Edge, this is broken. The trail is visible even when you set the switch

“show mouse trail”  to off. This setting is in “parameters”,”appearence”, “mouse gesture”.

Hi WSaltamirano:

I’ve never used this MS Edge feature before (my default browser is Firefox), but I can confirm that Show Mouse Track doesn’t work correctly if you turn OFF Settings | Appearance | Customize Browser | Mouse Gesture | Configure Mouse Gesture | Show Mouse Track (also at edge://settings/mouseGesture) and then turn the setting back ON.

I searched <here> in the Microsoft Edge board of the Microsoft Answers forum at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum and couldn’t find a discussion on this topic so if you haven’t already done so I’d suggest you report this bug from the main MS Edge menu at Help and Feedback | Send Feedback (Alt + Shift + I).

*** NOTE to others: Show Mouse Track is ON by default. You will not see your mouse track unless you old down the mouse (or in my case, touch pad) right button per Brink’s ElevenForums tutorial Enable or Disable Show Mouse Track for Mouse Gesture in Microsoft Edge.

FYI, just checked and it’s also broken in Edge v133.0.3065.51 from Feb 6.

Important additional step: in order to see the effect Enable mouse gesture must be ON!

Thank’s guys for your answers and confirmation of the bug.

I tried to submit it to Microsoft via the Edge “send feedback” but this is disabeled because of my O&O shut up program settings and I don’t know how to enable it back !

Anyway, I doubt they would answer because I don’t have a Microsoft account.
