Subject: xterm: pointer remains invisible after running aptitude
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:43:09 +0200
Package: xterm
Version: 261-1
Severity: normal
After running aptitude and quitting it, the pointer remains invisible
when one moves it, until one makes an xterm menu appear or one moves
the pointer out of the xterm window. This is always reproducible.
I've tried to reproduce this problem with "Log to File", and cat the
obtained log file, but in such a case, the problem doesn't appear.
The pointer even reappears instead of remaining invisible as long as
one doesn't move the mouse.

this sounds like (man xterm):
pointerMode (class PointerMode)
Specifies when the pointer may be hidden as the user types. It
will be redisplayed if the user moves the mouse, or clicks one
of its buttons.
0 never
1 the application running in xterm has not activated mouse
mode. This is the default.
2 always.
(pointerMode resource was added at the beginning of 2008)

To reproduce the bug, run "ttyplay ttyrecord-pointer" (attached)
in an 80x60 xterm and type a key before the end, so that the mouse
pointer disappears.

pointerMode is 2 in my case, so that when I type a key, the pointer
disappears. But the man page says: "It will be redisplayed if the
user moves the mouse", which xterm fails to do.
Note: as long as aptitude is running, the mouse pointer is redisplayed
when I move the mouse. The problem occurs after I quit aptitude.
This bug seems to be old, since I can reproduce it with xterm 251.
