[SOLVED] Crash when setting a hardware mouse cursor from a sprite... any ideas?

So I was messing around with Mouse.SetCursor(MouseCursor.FromTexture2D(sprite, 0, 0));

And by messing around I mean setting it several times per second (i.e. every frame). Windows 10, VS 2017.

This crash pops out after maybe half a minute of incessant clicking, but is 100% reproducible under those conditions.

Has anyone seen this before? Google has failed me.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to prevent this crash.

It seems that I can avoid it by setting mouse cursor sprite less frequently, but that means I can't have an animated mouse cursor. Even then, that's not a guarantee if there's a bug somewhere in the pipeline.

Should I just put this inside a giant try{} block and forget about it?

Thanks for reading!
