Yes, this is an annoying new issue that did not exist in the standalone version of MWB.

I just replicated. Indeed, behavior is different than original Mouse Without Borders. Original Mouse Without Borders replaced the cursor to a little dark square.

This issue is still ocurring on 0.73. Not always. If I restart the app, it works, but I can still see some cursor pixels. Maybe a good idea is to hide the cursor on the center bottom instead of the center top. At the bottom, it is less visible :)
