Note that the mouse cursor should also be hidden when this happens, so that a) it doesn't get in the way in ebook mode from which it can't me moved out of the way and b) it doesn't confuse users into thinking there is a way to move it.

Hiding of the cursor is now filed under #2954.

Is this meant to be at update.2, or did it get migrated?

  • milestone changed from Retriage, Please! to Update.1

Sigh. A casualty of whomever/whatever screwed up track several months ago. Was intended originally for Update.1....

please test this change carefully, if implememnted. it's _very_ convenient, when using e-book mode, to be able to crack open the laptop to get a the trackpad and/or keyboard.
