This article describes what to do if you want the host pointer to follow the guest pointer if the guest pointer is moved by a program running in a Windows guest. For example, if you use automated testing products, and as part of the test suite
you need to move the mouse pointer independently of user input.

 

In this case, when the user moves the mouse after the automated testing program runs, the pointer in the guest first snaps back to the host pointer's position. This can be confusing and make it appear that the pointer has suddenly "jumped" across the
screen.
