Cursor changing to a "line" from a "pointer"

Has to be a bug in this game as my cursor keeps changing from a pointer to a 'line'.  Have cleared cache/history and refreshed about 6 times.  Thought it was only the deco farm that was affected but it's every farm.  
Probably because as usual there are too many events for this game to cope with.  I am not coping with it!!

    This has been happening for some months.  It is very annoying. 

    I find the easiest way to change it back to the arrow head is to click on your chat box & move your cursor over to the names of your co-op members.  You don't have to click on any names just hover over one & the cursor will change to the arrow head again.  Not sure what is causing this but I still have hope that it can be fixed at some stage.

    Yes it is happening since HTML5 version I think.
    This needs to be fixed because it is very annoying and its harder too see that line too. :)

    An easy work around for now. Just open the chat then close it again all fixed :)

    Mine changes into that select tool line after I visit some people's farms, for some reason.

    Yes it has been happening since they changed over from Flash to HTML5, I had the problem for the longest time, but one of the updates fixed it for Me, sorry that others are still having this problem, they claimed that it was certain Browsers causing the problem, but I have kept the same browser from day 1 My Microsoft Edge/Bing, and now I do not have that problem, so I am thinking it was not My browser at all but something on Big Farm end  of it, yup.

    Copy Paste from chat or Pm doesnt work sometimes .. using Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V
  • For me its only started happening yesterday, and its changed from the pointer to a line, from a line to the grab tool, back to a line, and dont even think about manual fishing as you cant tell whether you have caught or not as that doesn't change to a reel.  Only way I have found is to log out then back and do that every time it changes.  Yet another bug they expect us to ignore,
  • i AM SICK AND TIRED OF THEIR BUGS AND YET THEY EXPECT US TO BE ENJOYING THIS GAME?
    I KNOW MANY PLAYERS THAT ARE NOT ENJOYING IT
    On the cursor i have found if you move it to the top of the page (great isn't it that you have to do this!)  then move it back to the farm it goes back to how it should be, BUT, don't hold your breath, 'cause it don't last for long before you have to go to the top of the page again.

    From a pointer to a text cursor every single time I type something either in messages or in chat, even if I just click to start writing and don't type any text. It is interfering with farming and makes collecting from buildings and restarting production very slow

    Only way to get it back to a pointer is to refresh, which is really very annoying. Sure ggs knows about the problem and it would be time they fixed it

    I used to get this only once in a while and could clear it in game... now it is happening constantly since the update and I have to refresh to get rid of it... :(

    Now I'm getting the move/fist thing, especially when I'm on the horse ranch.

    @WascallyWabbit and all MODs

    Could you please let us know if this problem been passed to the DEVs or should each player send a ticket ?

    Thank you 
  • Yes, it has been reported.
  • my cursor changes from arrow to clenched fist and entire screen moves around when I try to go to a specific spot.  Problem goes away when I switch to large screen.  Has been happening since we switched to HTML
  • I am wondering how long it is going to be before this is fixed.  How long do we have to wait/put up with this?
    Far too many bugs on this game.
    I will not hold my breath!  

  • Currently and for some time the default cursor is changed from a clearly seen white arrow to a narrow barely visable line when using the prompt to chat, communicate coop mail, work within the coop task completion section... etc... how many folks have this issue? 
  • Yes - I think its been reported too - now we just have to wait and see if they will fix it.

    I guess the cursor not working right is not a Priority for Good Grief Studios to fix as it is still not right after the Hot Fix. Too much to expect it to be fixed. Good job

    Not sure I should be holding my breath, but today the cursor has been behaving as it should :smile:

    Crossing my fingers and hoping it will stay that way.

    Cheers :smile:

    (True DebRN (US1) I reported it to Technical Help 09.06.2019)
