<br>Because of the ease with which animation can be rendered with this library, I think it might help some developers to create engaging activities.<br><br>Unfortunately, I have encountered a problem when I run a very basic test activity on an XO1-5: the mouse pointer flickers whenever a sprite is animated. (This bug also happens when I run the code in fedora desktop on the XO... but does not happen in the sugar emulator or on my f13 box). Here is a video which demonstrates the flickering:</font>

<br>I am hoping that the sugar community might know of issues which might be responsible for mouse flickering?<br><br>Thanks.<br>Erik<br></font>
