Couple of points to bear in mind: 1. I've only tried with the a/c stationary on the ground and this may make a difference. 2. when I looked at the screen shot I noticed that the controls were in the deflected position, so the pointer, and therefore the controls were re-centered after the screen shot data had been collected. What happens after the screen shot data is collected? The save dialogue pops up. But if your pointer isn't being re-centered but moved to the bottom left corner... Hmm... Well, they're both candidate locations for re-setting the pointer. P.S. Just spotted Curt's and Norman's messages. I didn't notice if the pointer was visible when I tested earlier so I just did another screen shot while the mouse was in control mode and found that the pointer wasn't visible at all. Guessing: The pointer is temporarily disabled when a screen capture is done, and is then reset afterwards.
