Bug Description

Hi Shutter team. I'm not able to capture the cursor anymore. I'm using 0.86.4 from the PPA in Debian Sid.
Now I don't remember if this started with 0.86.4 (I don't think so) or if it was always like this in this system here.
As an extra information, I use xulrunner 1.9.2 from the Debian experimental repositories. Do you think I should try to use the one from Ubuntu?
I can't capture the cursor with or without delay set. I have even cleared the configuration but that doesn't change anything.
I also noticed that Shutter is starting its first run with "Capture Cursor" enabled. I saw an old bug report for that ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/shutter/+bug/306420 ), have you re-enabled it again?
Regards.

Sérgio.

Works fine here. Could you please launch Shutter via terminal, enable
debug output, set include cursor = true and attach the output here?

Terminal: shutter --debug

Fixed in trunk. Thanks.

Hello Mario. Just to clarify, this feature always worked for me when I used antiX, I just don't remember if it stopped working with 0.86.4 or if it never worked in this latest installation of mine.

I just opened Shutter (it was set to capture the cursor), disabled cursor capture, reenabled it again and closed Shutter.

Now only to make it clear, started it with capture cursor disabled. Predictably, it's just like the previous message minus the capture cursor message.

Sorry, this was a misunderstanding. Could you please take a screenshot with cursor enabled and then attach the debug output? I want to see if there are any error messages when capturing the cursor.

Here it is. I took a screenshot of Shutter's own window with the cursor poised over it but as you can see it wasn't captured.

Strange, no error message. Do you use any special gtk-theme or mouse cursor set?

That should be the issue. I have no cursor theme installed, just the built in X cursor.
I don't know where the cursor files are for this default theme (not in /usr/share/icons nor in /etc/X11/cursors).
If you want I can install a cursor theme just to check. I have the new LXAppearance (LXDE appearance app) that has a cursor theme changer and it also doesn't detect any cursor theme.

Correct! It is reproducible when using the "Default Pointer". I've implemented a workaround when there is no cursor image. Shutter will ship a cursor image (the standard white cursor) and load this as a fallback solution.

=> fixed in trunk. The fix will be included in 0.87.

Thanks for tracking this down.
