Sometimes the mouse cursor gets trapped in the PIE area of the screen when a breakpoint is hit. The breakpoint halts the execution and the BP shows up with a yellow frame and the mouse is constricted to that area. I have to hit all sorts of keys to free it. I don’t even know which key combination eventually frees the mouse since all I tried conciously fail until I hammer the keyboard like a gorilla and eventually the mouse is set free.  
With the mouse restricted, i cant even press the “resume” key. If there was a keyboard shortcut to run, step, resume etc like in VS it wouldn’t be that bad but with mouse exclusive operation it gets annoying.

Has anybody else encountered this? Is there a trick that I am not aware of? Or should I report this as a bug?
