Hi there, 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have found some weird behavior with the scene.cursor.visible
instruction running on Windows Vista. 
 
When I turn scene.cursor off, it does not reappear as
expected when I move the (invisible)&nbsp; cursor from Scene to Desk top and
back. Instead it remains invisible. This effect is easily
repeatable. 
 
''' 
Cursor visibility test 
''' 
from visual import * 
 
scene.autoscale, scene.range, scene.visible = False, 10, True 
 
b = 0 
while 1: 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a = scene.mouse.pos 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if scene.mouse.events&gt;0: 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; mk = scene.mouse.getevent() 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if mk.release == 'left': 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; scene.cursor.visible = (scene.cursor.visible == False) 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; elif a != b: 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print a, 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b=a 
 
Left Mouse Click to turn cursor On/Off and test it. 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
A work around: 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Turn cursor Off then push your mouse far enough so that the cursor
Should be outside the Scene. 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Press left mouse key and the cursor reappears when Outside the
Scene and becomes Invisible when Inside the Scene. Everything now seems
to work as
expected. 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Turning the cursor on and off again will cause the problem to
repeat.
