Hi there,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have found some weird behavior with the scene.cursor.visible
instruction running on Windows Vista.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

from visual import *<br>
<br>
scene.autoscale, scene.range, scene.visible = False, 10, True<br>
<br>
b = 0<br>
while 1:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; a = scene.mouse.pos<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if scene.mouse.events&gt;0:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; mk = scene.mouse.getevent()<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; if mk.release == 'left':<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; scene.cursor.visible = (scene.cursor.visible == False)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; elif a != b:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print a,<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; b=a<br>
<br>
Left Mouse Click to turn cursor On/Off and test it.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>
A work around:<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Turn cursor Off then push your mouse far enough so that the cursor
Should be outside the Scene.<br>
&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.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Turning the cursor on and off again will cause the problem to
repeat.<br>
