It is a very old bug, and, even with a fresh install of LC 10, it still
seems present.
For a while we tested every new release to see it it was fixed and the
database just had not been updated. Then we gave up. If the bug is in
fact fixed, or there is a reliable work around, like reinstalling the
cursor stack, then LiveCode, LTD should have put that in the bug
comments and update the status.
It was/is there job to inform customers, who report bugs, when those bug
are fixed. At least in my opinion.
It may be a completely moot point in LiveCode Create - for all I know
the bug does not exists in that code base - and that is the future
direction of LiveCode.

It may be that the cursor stack is corrupted, or that another image
has the same ID as the pointer cursor. I'd try deleting the LC app and
re-installing to see if that fixes it.

I find it interesting that this bug is listed as "AWAITING _MERGE",
as well as a number of other bugs in that same state.
If I recall, that means the code to fix it has been written and just
need to be built and possibly tested.
As I also seem to recall LiveCode spent a lot of time developing
automated testing routines, and an automated build process, I DO
have to wonder why they do not just release ONE more maintenance
release of LiveCode Classic with any and all AWAITING _MERGE fixes
rolled in.
It seems like a waste of human resources for someone to have spent
the time fixing the code and not roll it into one last build and
release.

There are 1 or more bugs related to cursors and lock cursor I
submitted ages ago that I don;t think have been fixed in classic
Livecode.
Here's the one I think applies:

Hi Folks,
Can anyone tell me why the cursor does not change when I switch
from the browse to pointer tools and vice versa? It’s always the
browse tool, regardless of what I select, even though the
function is switched as expected. LC 10.0.5, Mac OS Tahoe
Thank You
Roger
