I am not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing something, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my cursor back in the Windows Forms designer in Visual Studio 2010.
I opened up an existing project and added a group box, now my cursor is stuck drawing group boxes. I just want the simple pointer cursor back, but nothing I do seems to bring it back.
I almost expected it to be on the toolbox under "Cursor", but it's not.
It's a bug. Close Visual Studio 2010 and reopen. In the toolbox, the "Pointer" should be at the top of every tab. Also the pointer should work like it did in Visual Studio 2008; it will revert back to the pointer after drawing one control.
Scott Guthrie announced today that the Visual Studio team now has a Patch for VS 2010 RC Intellisense Crash Issue. It seems that a late fix right before they shipped the RC modified a UI input code path that unfortunately exposed a pretty dramatic bug. You should be able to get the patch from the Microsoft Connect Website.
Hope this helps some.
