Mouse cursor is something that the player controls and sees all the time, that's why it is so important to make it cool!

We noticed a problem in NWJS game - custom cursor changes to system cursor when it touches the edges of the screen:

I tried turning different settings on and off (window frame, kiosk mode, devtools), this doesn't help.

Strangely, this doesn't happen on some machines. I have two laptops, both with AMD cpu and both running Windows 10, this bug only affects one of them.

Is there any fix?

Browsers have a security restriction that you can't show custom cursors near the edge of the screen, to prevent custom cursors being a way to show misleading information outside the window. AFAIK NW.js still retains that restriction.

Thanks, Ashley. I wonder why this only happens on some machines though.

Also, this definitely shouldn't happen in full screen, since there is technically no window.
