I've had problems with the mouse cursor graphics changing to some obscure dotted line (actually it seems that the graphics of the cursor is chopped up and scrambled), while in game... and sometimes it carries over to when I quit the game. Anyone had similar problems and know what causes it? Kind of makes it hard to click on stuff in game. If you've had these problems you probably know what I mean, because I don't have any screenshot of it.

Happens much less frequently for me with the 10.8 driver than with other versions, it was listed as fixed in the release notes, but went back to being a "known issue" in later versions. Here's a link if you want to try

A very easy bandaid fix to this problem is to just Magnifier in the backround at 100%-This fixes the problem whenever I have it. (Magnifier is under Accessories-Ease of Access)

Close the ATI manager in your icon tray or rollback your drivers a few versions.

There's also another similar problem where the screen will hop around if you scroll to the top right and that's caused by one of the newer drivers.

Scrubs, try shaking the cursor from side to side. Fixes it for me. (note this doesnt fix it when it carries over to windows, only in game).

Its annoying that ATI cant get their drivers to work properly. Between this and the alt-tabbing issue, im kind of regretting going over to the red team.

This might be a separate issue, but I thought this thread was an appropriate place for this.

I get a strange cursor glitch where my in-game cursor gets "stuck" on the border between the play area and the unit/control group information area. I can still move the screen and give commands, but I cannot see where my cursor is. Alt-tabbing resolves the issue, but it often takes a long time to get back into the game from alt-tabbing, and this has caused me to disconnect from games several times.

Does anyone know a fix for this?

@SpaceYeti - Sorry, no answers for you...GL, that would be ANNOYING.

I also get that crazy 'my cursor now looks like it's the only thing artifacting!' bug. Even after quitting, my NORMAL mouse cursor is screwed up (It's like someone cut it into 5 pieces and rearranged them). If I go over to my second monitor, it looks just fine. It ends up fixing it self over time. So weird and annoying. I've just last night updated to the latest driver version, so we'll see what changed.
