I was writing some code today when suddenly the length of my text select cursor doubled. I figured it was some weird glitch so I restarted my computer but it didn't affect anything. I checked in my Mouse settings and currently under text select it's still showing the same old default text select cursor.

I have no idea what could have caused this to happen, but it sure makes highlighting lines of code a pain.

Anyone know what the issue is?

  • Has the cursor size doubled for other applications too, or just your coding software?

  • @misha256 It's changed globally. Any and all programs.

Oh oh, I smell a dodgy Windows Update!

So... do you have Automatic Updates enabled, or have you done some manual updates yourself around the time this happened?

Perhaps an NVIDIA graphics driver was updated?

I have found another person experiencing similar issues to you and it's NVIDIA's fault.

Nvidia has admitted it is a problem with their driver and are working on a fix for it as we speak.
