I have this occasional problem where examining an object or a characters stats via the eye on the inventory screen will not give the mouse pointer back when I'm done. (I can quick fix things by alt-tabbing out and back again, but until then I lose mouse control)

I can't be sure, but I don't think it should be my tweaks doing it, as I don't believe I do anything with the character stats overlay, and I've definitely had the issue while checking stats.

Unfortunately I haven't figured out anything that triggers it specifically. Based on my experiments, the best way to prevent it is to try to trigger it... Given this I also haven't tried to make any sort of minimal test case, as I just don't have anything reliable to go on.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this, or just me?

edit: just reoccurred and I checked that it is definitely only the mouse that is affected, I can close the inventory screen with the keyboard and wander around a bit as long as I dont need to interact with anything

edit2: another one, this time checked that if I haul the hidden mouse pointer far enough it will escape to the dsb app to windows

I've never seen this. Without instructions to reproduce it there's nothing I can do.

Yeah I didn't think anything could be done with what I had here.

The main point is if anyone else has a reasonable length game and [does / does not] see the same thing then that'll say a bunch about whether its just my tweaks that are an issue.
