Answering his own question yet again:
on mouseEnter
set the lockCursor to true
set the cursor to none
end mouseEnter
on mouseLeave
set the cursor to arrow
set the lockCursor to false
end mouseLeave
not very well documented.
Many seeming oddities in the language are merely conventions established
by the HyperCard team. IIRC the need to lock the cursor to have it
maintained after idle is one of them (though personally it makes sense
to me; seems more convenient than needing to explicitly unlock).
In this case it seems the LC team tried to document it - from the
Dictionary entry for "cursor":
If the lockCursor property is set to false, LiveCode automatically
sets the cursor according to its location once the handler finishes.
(For example, the cursor normally turns into an arrow over a menu,
an I-beam over an editable text field, and so on.) To retain the
cursor property after a handler finishes, use the lock cursor
command.
