Anyone ever notice how the game cursor jumps around a lot in FE and LH?

I've noticed this almost as long as Elemental has been around, but I wish I had reported it sooner. It doesn't happen in other games or programs.

That has never happened to me. What OS do you use? Are you playing windowed?

I can confirm that, Windows 7 Professional. Mouse cursor is kinda "trembling", which also leads to misclicks a lot.

Also, some dialogues don't seem to respond to the first click, like city level gain dialogue.

The main time I see it is when holding control and trying to click to select multiple units in cities. Cursor tremble so bad it's almost impossible to click on the units.

This is the only one I have noticed. Even this is pretty annoying though.

+1, keep hoping to see this fixed.

Yeah, I've also only seen it when holding shift (I like shift better, it's a bigger button) to select multiple units. I get around it by letting go of shift, moving my mouse cursor to the next unit, then holding it down again to click. It would be nice if I didn't have to. Sometimes I won't pass armies through cities because they'll stop in the city, and I just don't feel like dealing with the selection.

Like Darxim, I use shift, but this is also the only time I notice any cursor issues. It's been around forever, I've kind of just accepted it. I would hope that if it was able to be fixed, it would have by now.

Same here. Thought it was just my computer, but guess not. I'll join the "Mouse Trembling Club". Kinda like the Mickey Mouse Club, but without the Disney aspect and much nerdier.

Same here, it did seem to get better over time (or I just got really used to it).

Yep same here. Trembling mouse.

I tremble as well using Windows 7 64 bit.
