In addition to the tests that Mike suggested, it would be interesting to see what you get back if you ask for the mouseloc in the message box when you see the problem. Put the cursor up near the 0,0 point of the editor so you have a visual reference.

I do like the term "Gatsby bug." :)

This occurs in the content of some LiveCode windows.  I don’t think I’ve ever 
seen it outside of that.  It most often shows up in the editor, but I’ve seen 
it in a stack I’m creating.  Such a stack might have buttons, fields and option 
menus on it.

It doesn’t feel like an IDE thing to me, but I hope it is.  That is, I don’t 
want to see this in a standalone.  Maybe the IDE sometimes uses or modifies a 
cursor image?

I’m not now working on cursors or image hotspots or Windows menus or anything 
like that, so I don’t think it is my code that is doing anything.

This happened on Mavericks and then on the same machine upgraded to Yosemite.

I am not sure, but I think one time i had to restart OS X.  I have trouble 
believing that.  However it might be a Gatsby Bug, involving both LiveCode and 
OS X.  (I made up that term.  In The Great Gatsby, a lady says accidents occur 
when two bad drivers enter the same intersection.)

I see this on a regular basis in 7.

I haven't seen it yet. Are those who have seen it using a third-party mouse?
