Tales of Pirates: mouse regression

[Marc]

Hi,
There was a regression in Wine introduced in version 0.9.57 for Tales of
Pirates v.1.37: the mouse disappears during the start of the game. There
is an easy workaround stated by Henrik Zimmer (
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=26135
):
It is only necessary to press a strange key on your keyboard and the
mouse appears again.

I thought it was my moment to learn how to perform a Regression Test and
I did it successfully, but now I have my doubts if I should post it to
Bugzilla because:
-The workaround is so easy !!
-There are some patches around for animated cursors so maybe wine-devs
are more worried about some more useful things than this.
-There are zillions of more important bugs in bugzilla.

So, is this the moment for me to learn how to post a bug to bugzilla, or
better wait for a bigger problem.

Post the problem, fix and workaround to Bugzilla. No problem is too
small nor too big to be there.
