Sequoia little blue arrow

Post by Gone To Lunch »

I have just upgraded to sequoia and there is now a supremely irritating little blue arrow that appears at my cursor position for any and every input field.

How can I get rid of it?

Hi,
SETTINGS > ACCESSIBILITY > DISPLAY then scroll down to POINTER
SETTINGS > ACCESSIBILITY > DISPLAY then scroll down to POINTER
It is controlled in SETTINGS > Accessibility > DISPLAY then scroll down to POINTER and change settings/colours. Maybe switch OFF the Shake mouse to locate Pointer option also if that's causing you any problems?

That's not it - it is still there?

It is a small upward pointing white arrow in a blue circle

D'you know, Bob's right. As I type this if I turn caps lock on I get that symbol which disappears when I turn caps lock off. What's amazing me is I'd never noticed before.
