Yeah I have the issue, but I just hit start and then click back into the game and it's fixed.

Thanks for all the helpful comments so far! Good to see I'm not the only one seeing this issue, thanks Kayjay.

To clarify a few things, yes, this problem occurs even if I've never minimized the SC2 window after its been opened. And clicking "options" then "cancel" doesn't help things.

Per Giku's advice, I'll look towards possibly playing fullscreen windowed so, when it does happen, I don't have to actually minimize then reopen the SC2 window. That still doesn't solve the issue. And I can deal with the dark screen and lack of direct gamma control.

I used to have this problem, but the issue for me was that Osu! was running in the background and apparently it somehow messes up the confine mouse cursor setting.

Make sure you don't have any games running on background.

I still have this problem but I easily fix it by just clicking anything on the second monitor and then going back into SC2, fixes it every single time.

For me alt tabbing again always fixes this.

Since your game doesnt get minimalized it shouldnt hurt your game too much, especially since hitting the windows key is pretty fast.

Why not use the Fullscreen-Windowed anyway?

happens in Windowed-Fullscreen as well.

Quite a few people by the looks of things.

I ocassionally have the same problem, opening options and pressing okay while changing nothing solves it 100% of the time 100% of the time.

These aren't solutions, they're patches; people are looking for a long term fix to a stupid bug which doesn't happen in any other game.

This.

I don't need workarounds, but rather a permanent fix.

that bug is the complete opposite of minor. Also it could have been, that someone found out a certain configuration that fixes this problem here on TL. So your post doesn't contribute anything

When I get this issue I just go to the menu, click on Fullscreen (I already have it set to that, just click on the dropdown) and hit okay, and issue is resolved. Seems to only have started happening to me since 1.5

Maybe we're experiencing a different bug, alt tabbing in and out, taking less than a second in full window mode is considered a big problem?

I have experienced this bug or similar as i alttab very often with other games and sc2 handles it extremely well

actually i move my mouse to the right edge to make sure its trapped and if not i alt-tab in and out. and why would you not noticed it until far into a game? if its a recurring problem, like mine, just check when game starts.

i did enjoy your little poke cute

you expect random users of the internet to find an official solution for this problem? Holy cow, not even blizzard is that audacious! :o

P.S: thanks for all the hints in this topic, now I know what to do next time I encounter that error.
