Might be me, but isn't that normal?

A screen saver will hide everything currently on the screen, including a stationary mouse cursor, so nothing burns in in the screen.

My best guess is that his mouse stays disappeared when the screensaver goes away. If you are lucky you can guess where the mouse is pointing by the action on hot spots. I had seen that problem myself on rare occasions with other unrelated software that I don't use anymore.
