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:

Automatic (default option)
- Keeps mouse frozen for all applications except Java
- If the user inspects the Java application, Leapwork will allow the user to move the real system's mouse to capture Java Bridge events
- If the user leaves the Java application, the system mouse again becomes frozen.
Use Leapwork cursor
- Always keep the system mouse frozen
Use Desktop cursor
- Free system mouse allows the user to move the real system's mouse; must be used carefully because it might affect automation.
