I'm on the latest tip on OS X El Capitan.  
I'm having trouble with setting the mouse cursor: The one I want appears for one frame, but changes back to the default cursor after that.  
The issue happens inside my application - but also inside the Introjucer. As an example try resizing a component in the Gui-Builder and notice, that the resizing cursor emidiately changes back to the default cursor. Most anoyingly text boxes are also affected.

I added a NSLog in juce\_mac\_MouseCursor.mm and it looks like the cursor is correctly set only once.

It also happens in the Juce-Demo: click "Tabs & Widgets", Misc,&nbsp;hover over the text boxes and notice, that the cursor is changing to a text cursor and back to the default cursor emidiatly after that.

Not sure how to track down further what the problem is here.&nbsp;

Best,

erm.. nope, I don't see any of that behaviour&nbsp;here! All cursors work perfectly. Must be something else going on in your build, but I've no idea what it could be...

Argh! Just realized, that it happens everywhere: In the Browser, System Preferences, etc. Works again after a reboot.

sorry for wasting you time - thanks for checking!
