Cursor not showing in Device Mode (Google Chrome)

Question

So I'm trying to develop a webapplication and I'm trying to check it out on mobile. I'm currently using Cordova and JQuery Mobile together with ripple.js to view my application in my browser.

• The first issue (as far as I know) is that ripple.js will work best in Google Chrome, so this is my only test platform.
• The second issue is that when I toggle Device Mode on, it doesn't show me the black dot (cursor) when I enter the rendered version.

I'll explain my situation or a scenario:

1. As an example I'll go to http://google.com
2. I press F12 to enter developer mode

3. I click the Toggle Device Mode button
   

4. I will see my cursor, until I enter the generated mobile canvas. While I would normally see a black transparant dot, I now see nothing. I can however click and drag like I would normally do, but I can't see what I'm doing.

The things I already tried:

• Reset all the flags back to default
• Reset all developer tool settings to default
• (edit) Installed a previous version of Chrome AND Chromium

So question is, how do I get my cursor back?

Extra: I'm using version 49.0.2623.87 m, but that's not related since my co-worker, has the same version and he sees the cursor.

(edit) currently I'm using the mouse option where I press Ctrl to see the circle which indicates where my cursor is, but this really has to be a temp solution.

(edit) I fixed it by doing a combination of things. So I'm not sure which exact thing fixed it. I removed a few programs that I installed after it still worked. I uninstalled about 4 of them. Also I did an update of my graphics card and then did a reboot. So it could be either the graphics card update, the software uninstall and/or the reboot.

Answer 1

I had the same issue. (note this question might be a duplicate of this one)

Following the advice on the Chrome forum here I changed the Quantization Range in my Intel HD Graphics Control Panel from "Default Range" to "Full Range". The touch pointer (grey circle) appeared immediately.

If that doesn't help you may have to change refresh rate too. Changing from 59p Hz to 60p Hz or some other refresh rate might help.

Answer 2

This should also help.

1. Open the mouse control panel.
2. Select the Pointer Options tab in the Mouse Properties window.
3. Then enable Display pointer trails option.
4. In case you don't like or are getting annoyed, like me, due to the trailer. Move the slider to the Short position and the trailer becomes near to non-existent or invisible.
