--- Comment #26 from Jörg Höhle hoehle@users.sourceforge.net 2009-01-19 07:28:04 --- As far as "Die Völker 2 / The Nations" is concerned, the mouse cursor is indeed drawn correctly in 1.1.13: no more black rectangle around it. Great work!
The one thing worth mentioning for completeness is that when the mouse cursor is moved, a rectangular area around it is highlighted a little bit, like when a white sheet of paper is moved behind a not fully opaque drawing. It has the size of that old bogus rectangle. When I stop moving the mouse, the rectangle darkens and there's no more difference in color with the surrounding area.
If that's the sole symptom that's left from this bug, it does not warrant another bug tracker issue.
