This should already be the case. Could you please post the name of your
custom cursor theme? I would like to have a look at it myself...

I'll have a look at it.

The same applies to delay. I've added a control to the statusbar of the
application window to change this setting easily (latest experimental
branch), see:

I think it is a good idea to add a simple toggle button for the mouse
cursor as well. Thanks.

Hm, sorry but I cannot reproduce this. I've created a sample screenshot with Shutter capturing the cursor just fine.

Do you see any errors in the terminal when doing this?

I think I found the problem. If I capture a window/desktop, etc. It works fine. If I capture using advanced selection where I can select the area, then I get no cursor as you have the drag cursor enabled so you can move the box around. I an mot sure if you can add the option that if the 'grab' cursor is in the selected box, the normal cursor is included in the screen.

I can certainly work around this if using the window capture option, but it would be a nice feature as I often need to capture a select area and include the cursor instead of having to resize a window and try to squeeze in required info.

Perhaps a hot-key to toggle drag mode on/off and off would present the cursor in the capture.

Ah, ok. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. This is a real bug but it was easy to fix. I've committed the changes to our dev-tree and it will be fixed in the next version of Shutter.
You can currently work around the problem by configuring a 1sec. delay in Shutter's preferences.

Btw, I'll open a new bug report for the sparkle option when needed (I've not checked it yet) and close this one as fixed.
