I configured ShareX so that it saves the cursor in gif recordings, but it doesn't save the cursor in gif recordings. What could the issue be?

E.g. in the following, I click on Ask but ShareX didn't save the cursor in the gif recording:

I use ShareX 14.1 on Windows 10.

    This might be a known bug, where the cursor is not missing, just misplaced. To test if this is your problem, set in *settings > System > Display* the value of "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" to 100%. – harrymc Jul 29 '22 at 19:39

    @harrymc thanks very much, you're right. Can you please post your comment as an answer? I can do if you prefer. – Franck Dernoncourt Jul 31 '22 at 23:48

The cursor in ShareX is only misplaced. The program does not correctly handle the case of high-resolution monitors when the resolution is magnified for readability.

To avoid this problem, you must set the resolution to 100% :

Run Settings > System > Display and set the value of "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" to 100%.

Now the cursor will be in its right place inside the recording.
