Summary0028304: General: [Mac IDE] Mouse ghosting when moving mouse over the IDE on High Sierra
DescriptionWe've been getting reports of mouse ghosting on High Sierra, where the mouse will 'duplicate' and leave a static image behind. This appears to be just a graphical issue.

This happens when the mouse cursor changes to indicate a tool has been selected, or changing to the drag/rotate mouse. So far users have reported this in the Room, Image and Sprite Editors.

We've also identified a possible temporary workaround, where if you set your Mac's mouse size to a non-normal size, the issue occurs less frequently.

Steps To Reproduce1. Move the mouse across multiple areas of the IDE.
2. Try selecting different tools in the image editor, move the mouse around.
3. Move mouse over different in-IDE windows, changing it to rotate or drag mouse icon.
4. Observe how a static ghost of the mouse is left behind.
Repro: 50%.

Additional InformationI'm collecting more information about this and will update with more details.

I think this might happen when we change the mouse cursor image, and High Sierra never clears it when the mouse returns to the OS default image.

Replicated > 2.1.2.258 / rt 2.1.2.177 - Using a Mac with High Sierra, if you plug in a monitor via Thunderbolt, using the Thunderbolt HDMI, this issue replicates 100%.

The mouse gets stuck on side panels, whenever the mouse icon changes, and can completely disappear in the image editor, making it really hard to use.

This isn't us - we don't draw the mouse ourselves, the OS does (probably a hardware one), but we can look to see if there is a workaround.

Confirmed that changing the size of the cursor on MacOS prevents this issue from occurring.
