SYMPTOMS
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.)



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Start Visual Basic with a New Project.
 * 2) Double-click 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.
