Lightscreen: Cursor?

A few day I rediscovered Lightscreen.

It seems that the "include cursor" feature doesn't work. (using Win XP)
Is there any way to make that option work?

Regards,
Leon

Working in Windows 7

It's working here in Windows 7. I honestly didn't even know that was an option until now. Are you using a standard Windows cursor or a custom one? And did you try full-screen or single window or area (I think it may only work with full-screen)?

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

It's the standard cursor. I tried both full-screen and single window, but it seems not to work.

Confirmed

I can confirm this issue, it doesn't work, either in screen, or window.

I also tried with a clean install of Lightscreen. Using Win7x64.

I tried using my Win7x86 virtual machine, and finally got it to work, using Full-screen mode only.

Hotkey

Also, are you using the hotkey or the GUI? I think it only works with the hotkey.

Architecture

Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit system?

Appears in both, possible lag

I tried it in Windows 8, and I can get the cursor to show regardless of that option using the Print hotkey to capture the whole screen.

It looks easy to miss it though, considering that if I try to capture it a few moments after it appears, the screenshot is taken right after it disappears, and the cursor is lost. But if I take the screenshot, anticipating the cursor, or immediately as the cursor appears, I can capture it. The capturing only works for me with the hotkey though; I could never get it to work with/without the option ticked by using the menu.

It seems like that option does nothing.
