Hi,

Great, feedback! I also found a new one, the Radiosity buttons feel  
very unresponsive in a maximized window... very weird.

Nice one for a rookie to put the teeth in! I doubt it's OSX related?

Yah, I get that wind resizing the window too. It is low level  
ghost/opengl context stuff. I tried to fix more here, without  
results... (the close renderwin error). I've asked Maarten Gribnau for  
assistance.

Hope someone else does it... like the ones that wanted this feature in  
the first place!

There are only a very few OSX cursors by default. At Irix, and I  
remember at all X11 versions, the cursor switches direction (right  
pointing) when in this mode. The only function is to remind you're in a  
'mode'... people get stuck too easily.

Maybe it's a good idea to use the crosshair instead for it? Serves as a  
warning too, and we can ask some designers to come with a definite new  
set of blender cursors.

Fixed that (previous mail from me). Need feedback on other platforms.
