So the support at NoVNC person believes the issue is Not a Not a browser issue, and not a NoVNC issue (at least not anymore) but believes that the version of NoVNC Server used in ProxMox needs to be updated to at least commit cd74793 or greater. Was able to reproduce the issue - and as you will see from this link - it is fixed in NoVNC at a commit > cd74793 ( ) So he had me open the inspector and look at what the browser had set for the cursor property in the canvas setting for various browsers. So the NoVNC support persons said that the issue is that the Browser needs to support a "Blank" cursor presented by the NoVNC server. ![]() We tested NoVNC NOT Spice - which like you said - Spice is another animal - and what I observed using a browser and not a Spice client was not relevant. We dug into the issue using several browsers for testing. I know this is a weird issue - but it drives me NUTS !!!ĭcsapak - I brought the multiple cursor issue up on the NoVNC support forum. Would love to just have REMOTE cursor with Firefox – this would solve the issue !!! Is there some way to tell/configure FireFox to only display the REMOTE cursor ? The ONLY way I have been able to get the mouse pointer back to normal arrowhead when in this window is to restart the ProxMox VM Guest Ubuntu session - which of course restarts the NoVNC server within that session. THEN when I move the mouse pointer to a neutral location - the REMOTE pointer went back to an arrowhead, BUT the LOCAL pointer stayed stuck at a DOUBLE ENDED Horizontal Arrowhead (See File ChangedLocalCursor). When I hovered over the right edge of the window - BOTH pointers changed to reflect that I was hovering over an edge. When I started BOTH LOCAL and REMOTE cursors were arrowhead pointers. So in my attached file I had hovered the right edge of a window and dragged it a bit to make it smaller. Once the shape of the LOCAL cursor and REMOTE cursor are different the LOCAL Cursor is now stuck with the WRONG cursor shape. BUT then when I re-size the window of one of the Ubuntu programs I am running under CROSSOVER/Wine in Ubuntu, the REMOTE and LOCAL cursors change shape to reflect that I am hovering over an edge of a window - but then when I move the cursor to some other location on the screen, the REMOTE cursor changes back to arrowhead pointer, but the LOCAL cursor stays the RESIZE shape. Ubuntu is running fine and I can access the console fine with NoVNC - and the local and remote cursors are generally the same shape - an arrowhead pointer. The guest I am accessing using NoVNC in ProxMox is running Ubuntu. I have had to live with 2 cursors in normal VNC in the past in other applications, so that would not have been too big of an issue. ![]() All OTHER browsers other than FireFox - there is ONLY a remote cursor when mouse in within the VM Guest Window. I do NOT have this issue of 2 cursors with ANY other browser that I have tried (Chrome, IE, Edge, etc.). It works - BUT when I access a NoVNC Session with Firefox - there are 2 cursors (See File 2Cursors). ProxMox uses NoVNC as one of the methods to view the console of a VM Guest. I am also using ProxMox as my Virtual Machine Hypervisor. Now the mouse looks the way it should… I hope this helps some people.So I use FireFox as my primary browser. Optionally, I unchecked the boxes “Turn on Mouse Keys with left ALT + left SHIFT + NUM LOCK”, “When using keyboard shortcuts to turn Ease of Access Settings on:”, and “Display the Mouse Keys icon on the taskbar”. Go to Control Panel -> Ease of Access -> Ease of Access Center -> Make the mouse easier to use -> and click on “Set up Mouse Keys”. The solution I found is to enable MouseKeys. When I did this the mouse did appear on the screen and work but… it was HUGE and I wasn’t happy with the result. The default solution to this is to enable “Draw mouse cursor” in the “Other Options” section of MWB. This is an issue with Windows 10 (and I believe with Windows 8) as it hides the mouse when none are detected. ![]() ![]() The mouse would be invisible when on the computer that the mouse was not physically connected to. I had an issue when running Mouse Without Borders(MWB) between 2 Windows 10 machines.
