SYMPTOMS
========

When you run a text-mode mouse program, such as the Multi-Edit editor, as a
full-screen program, the mouse pointer may slowly move toward the upper-left
corner of the screen.

CAUSE
=====

Programs that repeatedly adjust the text-conditional mouse region may experience
this behavior. Programs that run in graphics mode are not affected.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this behavior, press ALT+ENTER to run the program in a window.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
