Forums Bug Reports The mouse pointer disappears!

I tried disabling "Hide pointer while typing" in the control panel (Windows XP) mouse options (Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options) but to no effect. Unchecking the "Multibyte editbox" option doesn't work for me.

[edit: disabling the 'hide pointer while typing' setting does zilch for lots of other things too, such as the Windows Run or Search windows - the cursor still hides. Maybe my system is just being stubborn or the change requires a reboot to be effective. - *shrug*]
