[6.8.3] Loss of VM Mouse

I've experienced it too with Unraid 6.8.3. I discovered I suddenly wasn't able to click on objects on the Windows VM's desktop. As far as I can tell, it's a noVNC issue because connecting via a Remote Desktop client works normally. I haven't experienced it with Unraid 6.9.0-beta30 though.

Ah alright, that's great to hear, thanks for sharing. 

I personally like using the noVNC since its one less app I have to have running. 

 

If someone from Unraid can confirm that 6.9 will fix the problem (ie that it's a known issue), then it will be problem solved. 

@mmmeee15 I have noticed something similiar. Not sure what triggers the cursor in the VNC window sometimes disappearing, but it often happens if I change the resolution inside the VM or change some graphic settings. For me it helped to change the cursor appearance in the guest os itself to inverted or a dark one and it will always show again. Somehow the cursor only disappears for me if the guest has it set to a white one what is the default on most operating systems.

Hello, thank you for your comment. The issue is not that the cursor disappears, it is that the mouse no longer functions, ie I cannot click on anything, even if I push the mouse all the way to the edge of the screen to 'find the cursor' and then close a window for example. I have had the issue you describe on other machines, but it is not what this thread is about though, I wish it were that simple.
