If I want to click on a specific region that's only a few pixels wide, I can't do so with because I can't see that region because the white section of the cursor is blocking it. However, if you want to use a large cursor then the outer white arrow gets much bigger and the problem becomes a lot more apparent. The x,y click coordinate is at the tip of the inner black arrow, but there's a white arrow outside that obscures the surroundings of the black arrow.Īt minimum size, the white arrow is only slightly bigger than the black arrow, so the problem isn't very noticeable. The issue is with the rendering of the arrow icon for the mouse cursor. This is the bug: The click point of the mouse is in the wrong place relative to the tip of the pointer icon. It appears you misunderstood the problem, it has nothing at all to do with the movement of the mouse pointer. Plenty precicision for me and the majority of creative artists and CAD users.


There are plenty of options to adjust the OS X cursor's behaviour to get it to be more comfortable, controllable and precise. You can, also, adjust the cursor acceleration so it does not "zoom" so fast across the screen aiding in more precise cursor placement and movements. In the OS X Settings app under mouse/trackpad control, you can set the "speed" of the cursor so it is slower and not so fast to precision place it better on the screen. I can understand not seeing the cursor at the size it appears at a Mac's native screen size ( I prefer to increase the screen resolution instead to get bigger UI elements), but the there is nothing wrong with the OS X cursor's precision. How old is everyone here complaining about the Mac's cursor "precision"? I'm 54 years old and occasionally need to wear my glasses when I work on a computer. With most CAD and vector apps, you know you can adjust the line snap precision, don't you? I use a drawing tablet, as well as a visual drawing tablet app and smart Bluetooth stylus on my iPad Pro connected to my Mac and I can get real precise with no problems what so ever. I use a CAD app (High Design CAD), vector apps, digital painting apps that I create highly precision and detailed images, digital paintings and drawings. The cursor doesn't present any issue for a lot of users or more users would be complaining about it.

I use a slightly higher screen resolution and I have no issues doing precision work on my 27 inch iMac. The OS X cursor is that problematic for a few of you here in this posting!
