    Hey guys, I've been having an issue every now and then while playing dota. Basically randomly during the game the mouse cursor will change from being normal to looking all crazy and sometimes it will be a row of little black lines. Kinda like this except closer together

    Have anyone else had this problem. If yes, how did you fix it? Thanks a lot.

    Yeah this happens to me, only a reboot fixes it.

    Yea happened to me too. Sometimes I buy items at the shop and my pointer becomes that item's Icon. Last night I got d/c'd from server and could not reconnect to game, message was "must be in a lobby to join game", I think everyone else in that game was dropped too.

    Dota 2 is great but still in beta and sometimes it's buggy.

    This happens to me a lot, especially when I alt+tab out.

    The fix that works for me is just click and move something on your item slot. That always turns my cursor back into the DotA cursor.
