Hardware Mouse Disappears *UPDATED*

When a unit is selected, the hardware mouse will disappear. The defualt arrow when a unit is not selected is ok. The guard and reclaim cursors are also ok even when a unit is selected, but only if the mouse is put over something guardable or reclaimable.
The only other thread I found was here: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=30802

I've tried not using the hardwire mouse, but it becomes unbearably laggy on some maps. I was playing Balanced Annihilation 7.84.

I've installed the 2 updates today, and they have fixed the minor problems with the lobby, but the mouse problem still persists.

new info log below.

thanks.

It's no bug. Spring does everything correctly, it's just that fullscreen hw cursor is an optional feature in windows gpu drivers and a lot can break. That's why it is default disabled.
So blame your system when it fails, you likely made a change that made it break (updated drivers, installed another software, upgraded windows, ...).

I've tried using windowed mode before and it still didn't work.

However, after (yesterday's?) update, the hardware cursor now works in windowed mode. All good.
