API: gfx.setcursor() broken when mouse button pressed (FIXED)

[tack]

This fairly straightforward example intends to use a different mouse cursor when the mouse button is pressed than when it isn't, but it doesn't work.

Expected result: clicking and holding the mouse button changes the mouse cursor and moving the mouse while the button is pressed should show the NS/EW cursor, while when the mouse button is released the normal pointer should be shown.

Actual result: the cursor doesn't change until the mouse button is released, and then reverts to the pointer when the mouse is subsequently moved.

function update()
    gfx.update()
    if gfx.mouse_cap & 0x01 ~= 0 then
        -- NS/EW move cursor
        gfx.setcursor(32646)
    else
        -- Normal pointer
        gfx.setcursor(32512)
    end
    reaper.defer(update)
end

gfx.init("Mouse cursor test", 800, 600)
update()

I can confirm it.
In this example, it's not possible to have a i.e. dragging-mouse-cursor while the mouse is clicked, only after mouse-click has been released.

So coding of moving objects around with a dragging-mousecursor displayed is not possible to do that way.

Fixing, thanks!

Fixed in the latest 6.24-rc3-release.

Wow, if only all buglets got squashed this crazy-fast!

Thanks very much Justin, and Mespotine for reproducing and following up.
