Interesting, you have found a related bug that I had found just prior to SoL when the test server was running a lot of the code.
Magically, the problem disappeared on EQLive when SoL became active.
The way the bug worked is that everything was fine until you opened a box, like inspecting yourself. Then you mouse seemed to disappear and you got gray borders around you main window.
The problem was zone dependent and weather dependent. I had seem a similar problem months before whenever it rained in Freeport.
As for the "fixing itself" that was also a characteristic of the bug. Changing screen modes often fixed it, and a couple of other methods.
I only saw the problem on one machine -- my "Verant has changed something so let's not risk anything" machine.
Anyway I bet my farm on the fact that you are seeing the Verant bug and that either you are not fully patched to SoL level or Verant didn't fix for you card.
The DX 8.1 upgrade is recommended for everyone. It solves several problems, unfortunately it doesn't solve yours because you already did that.
But here are you options:
-patch EQ some more
-look for a current driver for you card
I would do both, assuming you haven't yet.
If you still have the problem, then please post your card and driver info here.
