I have an MDI WinForms app in which the MDI parent form has a ToolStrip, MenuStrip and StatusStrip. Whenever the mouse is moved over one of these controls the cursor changes to a ‘wait’ cursor (a arrow with an hourglass). This seems to be default behaviour in that there is no code to make this happen. The UseWaitCursor property of both the ToolStrip and MenuStrip is false; StatusStrip does not have this property.

This occurs in both debug and release builds and confuses the users who think that the app is ‘doing’ something when really it isn’t!

Does anyone know what is causing this to happen, and more importantly how to make it stop?
