That's normal behavior. The actual pointing position of the cursor is the
very tip of the arrow. If that tip is to be able to point to a pixel on
the extreme right or bottom edge, then by necessity the rest of the cursor
will go off screen.

If you have a Logitech mouse with driver installed, check in mouse
properties and change the pointer scheme to a left handed one - the arrow
cursor will point up and to the right. Now it disappears off the left
side.

I have not made the behaviour sufficiently clear. In the lower part of the
right hand edge, the behaviour is as you state; namely the pointer remains
"just off screen and no more, as it were", and the slightest mouse movement
brings it back into view. In the upper part, however, the pointer can be
dragged "way off screen", so that a considerable effort of left mouse
movement may be required to bring it back - thus making one think that it
has ceased to exist (thinks "Oh dear, the program/system has crashed").
This is so disconcerting that I find it hard to believe that it was always
so.

My mouse pointer cannot be taken off screen up, down or left. But it
will
go off screen to the right, but only in the top 1/3 (or so). I have
never
noticed this before, but my attention was drawn to it when I suddenly
kept
losing the mouse pointer - where on earth is it?

I'm on XP Home SP2. Recent changes include IE 7 (beta) RC. And it may
have started when I got fed up with tabs and asked it to open things in
new
window?.

Is this behaviour usual, just that I've not noticed it before?
