Known Issues

• In versions prior to Brutus2D 1.7.1, Mouse.Hide and mouse.Show seem to keep count of how many times they are called, also between runs from the IDE. Therefore mouse.Show should be called just as many times as mouse.Hide before exiting your application. This often becomes a problem if your program halts because of an error and does not call mouse.Show again before exiting. Restarting the IDE resets this counter.
