Direct mode losing mouse cursor

It seems to be due to my multi monitor setup and maybe because my monitors have a smaller resolution than the Rift. Somehow I always manage to have the Rift window lose the mouse cursor which naturally results in loss of control. I think it happens where the window overlaps the taskbar on the second monitor or something.

Rather annoying, especially when developing where I have to put on and off the Rift often enough as it is. Anyone experiences the same issue?

    What I do if I lose the mouse pointer is to move the mouse to the top right of the secondary monitor (the DK2) in my mind and then slowly move the mouse diagonally to the center of the display until it is visible. Would be good to have a key to automatically center the pointer to each screen.

    So I just tried with one monitor, actually I still lose the mouse cursor. It's quite a big problem, surprised not more people are ranting about it.

    my cursor turns invisible all the time. It sometime happens after closing a direct to rift demo, or switching rift mode.
    Really annoying, i have to reboot every time.
