Arrow Size Does Not Shrink When Pointer Growth EnabledArticle ID: Q105897Creation Date: 27-OCT-1993 Revision Date: 10-SEP-1996

SYMPTOMS
When Pointer Growth is enabled on the Microsoft Mouse Driver version
9, the expected behavior of the pointer activity in Word for Windows
is that the mouse pointer and I-beam will grow with rapid movement
and shrink when the mouse movement stops. However, when the right
pointing arrow is in the left margin (or in the style area) the mouse
pointer grows, but does not shrink. Likewise, when the I-beam is
located in italic text, the italic I-beam grows, but does not shrink.
CAUSE
The right pointing arrow in the left margin and the italic I-beam are
both application-specific implementations of mouse functionality. The
Help topic "Enabling Pointer Growth" under "Pointer Growth Feature"
for the Mouse 9 driver accurately states that "Application-specific
pointers in Windows grow but do not shrink back to the smaller size."
