Steps to reproduce your problem would be helpful. It is possible that
there's a bug. The way hiding the mouse works in .Net code is that you
don't simply show or hide it. If you hide it twice then you have to show it
twice before it appears again. The MCE code could easily be flawed here -
I've made the same mistake myself in code.
