Mouse turned into Circle after update

[HansGoldstein]

This morning I updated android on my transformer, and afterwards my mouse cursor has changed into a circle while I have it docked into the keyboard. I'm not sure if I changed a setting without knowing it, or if the new update to android 3.2 decided to go with this. I'd much prefer to get the pointer arrow back, if it is possible

That is how the new cursor is with the update. I don't know how to get the arrow back. Hopefully someone will figure out a way.

Actually, I like the circle. Makes sense for touch based applications, and you still have apointer when using a mouse. I still say that there is no reason that the user can't be allowed to choose.

The word is the latest update that just started to show up in Taiwan has selectable cursors (arrow or circle).

Yeah, go into:
Settings
Language & input
Touchpad pointer style

and it now gives you the options for Gesture mode (the circle- I hate it) or Mouse cursor mode (the way it was originally).

The touchpad on the dock is a mouse essentially, so they need to fix the circle when docked. I hate when companies make universal changes like that that aren't really thought all the way through. I want a laptop experience with the dock.
Guess it's moot if they added the option for both in the update. I won't know until asus sends my fixed dock back.

So if you choose the pointer, you lose the pinch to zoom on the mousepad...not sure that's a good tradeoff. I kinda like the pinch to zoom on the mousepad..but the choice is the thing

Well that stinks. Wonder why they would add that change to the choice.
