this happened to me one time pre-patch

i can't say if it was related to alt tabbing out, because i rarely have a need to alt tab while in game... but it is possible that i could have been messing with Ventrilo

it was the reticule for the arms that was stuck to the left side of he screen

This has happened once. I have tried to reproduce, but been unable to so far. I will keep trying. I could also not get it to go away by alt-tabbing out. I also tried switching from full screen to windowed with alt-enter several times and could not get it to clear up. I have been fortunate with the extremely low amount of bugs I have been experiencing all the way back into early closed beta. I rarely get them and they seem to come totally at random.

@Dagger6T6, it was the same for me, stuck all the way to the left. I was also unable to gain lock with my LRMs which were in the "arms" of my 'Pault C-1 when this happened.

I'm getting the stuck cursor every match I play in, even if I don't alt-tab at all. I've restarted both the client and my computer, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling MWO. As it stands, the game is unplayable. I swapped mice to see if maybe it was a hardware issue, but 3 mice later it still happens every game.

My system is:
Windows 7 64 Ultimate
Intel i5 2.8ghz
12 gigs ram
ATI 5850
