Summary:

In Microsoft Visual Basic, the mouse pointer fails to be displayed if

you press ESC or CTRL+BREAK within the Code window. (The mouse pointer

correctly reappears if you move the mouse.)

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Microsoft Visual

Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are researching

this problem and will post new information here as it becomes

available.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. Start Visual Basic with a New Project.

2. Double-click on the form to bring up the Code window. Notice the

I-beam mouse pointer within the Code window. If you place the

mouse pointer outside of the Code window, you will see the I-beam

change to an arrow.

3. Place the mouse pointer back in the Code window to display the

I-beam pointer. Press either the ESC key or the key combination

CTRL+BREAK. The I-beam mouse pointer will temporarily disappear.

4. The pointer will be redisplayed if you move the mouse.
