Hi Gary,
What we are doing for this problem is disabling the Aero desktop composition
feature of Win7 for Allegro only.
See procedure below:
1. Navigate to the executable program from Start Menu: Cadence Release
PCB Editor.
2. Right click on it and select Properties.
3. Select the "Compatibility" tab and "check" Disable desktop
composition, then click on OK.

4. Reopen your PCB Editor.
Hope this helps.

Mary Ann

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Infinite Cursor trails - again!
Hey guys,
Well, I got a new laptop recently (HP, Windows 7 Enterprise), and the dreaded
Infinite Cursor bug issue is back!
In my "env" file, I have the line "set infinite_cursor_bug_nt".
Here's the kicker: When I load a board into Allegro, the infinite cursor leaves
trails (they only disappear when I pan, zoom etc.). When I reread in my env
file, *then* the infinite cursor behaves properly (leaves no trials behind)!
Anyone know if there's some setting in Windows that's causing this? Is there
some other setting in Allegro or an env entry that will fix the issue?
Thanks for any help.
