Board » Technical Support » New issue, this time on my iMac

Posted by Pierre Posts 66 Registered at 2009-06-27 15:48:03	2011-07-22 20:46:47 - New issue, this time on my iMac
	I've updated the browser to the latest version which Apple just released. (Safari 5.1 (6534.50)) The new issue is that the cursor disappears when over the SOL window. I can see the cursor cross move on the map but the cursor is invisible over buttons and the weather bar. I have to click outside the window in Finder to get a visible cursor for aiming in the SOL window. This could be a Java bug or Flash issue. BTW on the subject of Flash; Apple are going to "kill" Flash by stopping support of it in the OS. How will this affect SOL? And will I be able to sail in the future if I upgrade to OSX Lion? /Pierre, boat: chksix

	Some extra info if it helps the fault finding... The cursor goes invisible as soon as it enters the browser window of SOL. I get the map cross as soon as I'm hovering above the map. Hovering over a button or outside of the map window doesn't bring the cursor back. The only way I've just found is by accidentally passing over the ad at the bottom of the page. Then it switches to the hand symbol.

	Not sure about the cursor thing - sounds like a flash bug. Apple is not going to kill flash - they're just not going to ship it by default with Safari. You could also try Chrome - it ships with its own flash version embedded!

	ITA You are running Lion now right? Good to hear that Flash won't be blocked in the OS I'll check for an update again more often. If there's an improvement I'll post here to help others if they run into similar issues.

	Ok, An extension update arrived this morning so I'll go to the SOL race again and check if it helped. Edit: Nope still the same cursor behaviour. My version of Flash: Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152 --- Last Edited by Pierre at 2011-07-28 08:04:24 ---

	I have the same problem with the cursor in Lion. It seems there is a problem with flash causing the custom cursor (crosshairs) to not display correctly. In my case the its a case of focus. Inside the sol window its okay. Outside it has problems jumping back. This issue also pops up when in the steer tabs. Official bug list from Adobe. " Flash Player Flash Player may cause higher CPU activity when playing a YouTube video. Possibly related to disabled hardware acceleration. The Flash Player settings dialog does not respond to mouse clicks. Custom native mouse cursors are not animating properly on Mac 10.7." We will just have to wait for a fix for this I'm afraid. *update: Chrome handles the display of the cursor correctly, this might be a solution for the cursor until Adobe finds a fix for Safari. --- Last Edited by Jeroen Tiel at 2011-08-24 11:41:52 --- I am a ex-admin of SOL who joins in from time to time.

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!

The Beagle in the Straits of Magellan 2024

Both before and after visiting the Falkland Islands, the Beagle extensively explored the south eastern coast of South America, hither and thither, from north of the Rio Plate to the tip of Tierra del Fuego, but it was not till the end of June 1834 that the ship made it into the Pacific Ocean, transiting via the Straits of Magellan. Online in 2024, the choice is yours - passage the strait or round the cape; 400nm or more in your Class B Tall Ship.
