Mouse movement while Desktop automation

Leapwork manages system mouse movement while inspecting Desktop applications, it does not affect Web automation at all. This option must be used in both Single elements capturing mode and Smart Recorder.

you can find this option under the "Leapwork Studio -> Settings - > Capture" section and it is  represented by a dropdown with 3 options:

1. Automatic detection (default option)

   • Keeps mouse frozen for all applications except Java

   • If the user inspects the Java application, Leapwork will allow the user move the real system's mouse to capture Java Bridge events

   • if the user leaves the Java application, the system mouse again becomes frozen.

2. Override system mouse

   • Always keep system mouse frozen                                                                                                     

3. Keep system mouse

   • Free system mouse allows user to move real system's mouse, must be used carefully because it might affect automation.
