--- Comment #3 from Stefan Dösinger stefan@codeweavers.com --- Yeah, because we don't overlays the game will always fall back to the monochrome cursor. I suspected a temporary mode change might cause the game to re-try the overlay cursor and not check the caps.
It took me a few tries to reproduce this. The pointer is always fine in a virtual desktop, and I got it broken twice in 10 runs without a VD, running in KDE.
