Description

Steps to reproduce in IE with Flash Player 10.1
1. Hide the system cursor and show a custom cursor using cursorManager.setBusyCursor(). See attached test case.
2. Right click to open a context menu.

Actual Results:
The system cursor is not made visible like in other browsers or when using FP < 10.1 but the custom cursor is hidden so now the user has no cursors.

Expected Results:
The custom cursor should be hidden and the system cursor restored.

Workaround (if any):
Set the wmode to opaque (This workaround causes Chrome to not hide the system cursor so you then see the system cursor above the custom cursor.)

e.g. Add this to html template:
if (swfobject.ua.ie && swfobject.ua.win) // http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/api

{ params.wmode = "opaque"; // workaround for cursor issue }
