Hi to all,

first of all thanks for this great piece of software!  
I use it to implement a game and i am running into a problem on windows vista.  
I try to use the feature

glfwDisable(GLFW\_MOUSE\_CURSOR);

and it works great with Windows XP. But with vista it does not hide the cursor.  
Is it a known bug and is there already a patch available?

Thanks in advance!

No, that’s a new bug, but there seem to be a lot problems with the mouse code on Win32, especially on Vista. Please file a (verbose) bug report.
