Hi, I'm new here. just downloaded the newest ver of OBS on my new device and found out this problem when i tried to adjust the size of the preview window.
so basically, OBS can capture my mouse cursor in the video (with the "capture cursor" option checked), but I cannot see the cursor within the OBS preview panel (the whole section, not just where the video displays). for example, if we name the mouse cursor I use for operations as "A" and the mouse cursor recorded in the captured video of me doing things as "B," normally I can see both A and B while I'm in the OBS program, but now every time after adding "display capture" or "window capture" into the scene, the cursor A disappears and I can only see B. A only appears when I'm pointing at sections other than the preview panel or outside the obs window. the capture method I used is "automatic", "win10 (1903 and up)" is the same, "DXGI desktop duplication" can show cursor A but it's not capturing the video.
It's fine recording generally like this (I don't stream so didn't try) because everything I do does get captured, but I want to adjust the size and position of the capture and I need to see where my mouse is to do that. i have searched on the internet and didn't find anyone with a similar issue. i assume it's because of win11 because I tried using this ver of OBS on my old win10 device, it worked fine. cursor A is white and cursor B is black so I know which one I was. so what should I do that can get this back?
