Re: It this the disappearing cursor bug?

Hi,

I built one server with and one without the patch:-

     case WM_COMMAND:
       switch (LOWORD (wParam))

and so far I've had 0 cursor failures with and 1 failure without it.
Both servers running multiwindows with the default hardware cursor.
An empirical result, perhaps not yet significant, but ShowCursor(TRUE) vs
ShowCursor(FALSE) must be 
getting out of step somewhere/somehow, and I couldn?t see why removing all
the
software cursor code helped when I hacked it all out, some time ago, in
desperation?
(The ShowCursor entry in the task menu calls ShowCursor(TRUE) as a
restore/remedy when it disappears)

This bug is a slippery customer, only appears once a blue-moon, so I'll keep
on trucking and get more stats.
