Mouse settings: Hide pointer while typing has no effect
In Windows 10 there is this option called "Hide pointer while typing" under
Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Options
The idea behind this option makes really sense.
However, it does not seem to have any effect on the following apps I tried. They all behave in the following ways regardless of whether this option is checked or not:
- Notepad and WordPad: Pointer is always hidden while typing.
- Notepad++: Pointer is never hidden while typing.
- MS Word 2016: Pointer is hidden while typing; however hitting the shift key makes it reappear, which of course happens all the time while typing resulting in a flickering pointer...
The behaviour of Word 2016 is the worst of all. While I would prefer the pointer really being hidden while typing, a pointer that is never hidden is still better than that flickering pointer!
Can anybody confirm this behaviour or knows how to resolve it?
