As in several games, the circle should not be displayed.

Could you give examples of games that avoid showing the circle? 🙂

@unknown » I don't have any examples on hand since I've been mainly playing Minecraft recently. However, I'm almost certain that I've only had this issue in Minecraft.

 

Anyway, possibly Microsoft Flight Simulator or Grand Theft Auto V.

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.

Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
