click-mode Jiggler doesn't work if mouse is above the icon

I had an important VM open which logs out automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity. In the past I've set up Jiggler in click mode for every 5 minutes and it works great. Today, I did the same, I enabled Jiggler and put the mouse over the VM as usual. I came back an hour later and it was all logged out. Turns out, the Jiggler icon was underneath where I left the mouse icon, and thus because my mouse was clicking the Jiggler icon in the middle of the screen, my VM was not receiving any clicks in the background and thus it logged me out.

Any chance you could set Jiggler so that the icon does not show up underneath where the mouse is?

You know what? I found the preference to shut off the Jiggler icon on-screen. I unchecked that, and that should solve my problem. Thanks.

If the icon is in the way, I'd suggest just turning it off by un-checking the "Show Jiggler's icon onscreen..." checkbox in the prefs. I'll keep this issue open for the suggestion of having the icon move to avoid the mouse, but that's unlikely to happen soon.

Ah, looks like our comments crossed. Yes.
