Hi all,
I have a strange problem with the mouse cursor in the main menu of build 256. There is a difference between the location on the screen where the cursor is shown and the actual location the menu thinks I am pointing to, making it hard to select any option in the menu.
Lets define the top left corner of the screen as coordinates (0, 0) and the bottom right corner as (100, 100). If the cursor is show at position (50, 25), the actual location the menu thinks it is would be something like (67, 31).
Some extra observations:
1) This problem does not occur when I use the native resolution of the monitor.
2) The difference between the cursor position and the actual position seems to increase linearly as you move away from the top left.
3) The lower the resolution, the bigger the difference. It seems as if the position of the cursor is multiplied by the difference between the actual resolution and the native resolution.
I added a photo to demonstrate, because a normal screenshot does not show the mouse cursor. The screenshot shows the graphics menu so you see all the related graphics settings.

The best solution is probably to Alt+Enter into windowed mode and reset your resolution every time you start-up the game.
