from changing.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Copy the following code into a program file (.prg) and run it:

  PUBLIC oForm
  oForm=CREATEOBJECT("Form")
  WITH oForm
    .ADDOBJECT("Text1","textbox")
    .text1.VISIBLE = .T.
    .SETALL('MousePointer',11)
    .MOUSEPOINTER = 11
    .SHOW
  ENDWITH
  RETURN

2. Slowly hover the mouse pointer over the border of the text box. Notice that
  the mouse pointer changes from an hourglass to the default arrow pointer.
