Hi
I'm coding to code a windowed screen editor.
But ExamineMouse() hides the mouse pointer.

I don't know if there's the same problem on MAC and Linux ?

If I remember right, there is a ReleaseMouse() command. However if you use it, you will have to check the mouse coordinates the "old window way"

the MousePointer on the Screen should be displayed with a sprite.
the MouseLib also locks the Mouse Position to the Screen Area,
so you would need to ReleaseMouse to leave the Screen and use the ButtonGadgets, anyways.

I found a cross-platform solution without using opened screen.
