Let's keep this on the list. I'm not a pdp or graphics dev, so I won't be able to help as the questions get deeper, but I'm happy to help you dig. It would be good to have more work on PDP, its a solid library.

I do remember vaguely Tom Schouten talking about this, did you try to search the archives of the pd lists? Or maybe try emailing Tom directly.

You could also look at Gem and gridflow to see how they handle it.

Which OS and which output method? Have you tried others? Also, I think that the solution to this problem will vary based on those as well.

Since some time Ive been developing a videomixer with PureData ( http://www.ewocprojects.be) and one of the less pressing problems is the mouse pointer behaviour when using pdp output windows. At the moment the pointer disappears when over any of these windows, and since my mixer

uses

a multiple of windows onscreen, this makes the program more difficult to control, cause one can easily "lose" the mouse pointer...

Is there anyone with knowledge of pdp source who knows how to fix this problem, Id really appreciate also any info as to why, technically, the pointer disappears, because then maybe I can fix this myself?

Thanks,
