Are you by chance running the Sim with two monitors?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Try running the sim in window mode. It would appear that the sim occasionally thinks the mouse is either active in a second monitor (my case) or active on the desktop. If you are in windows mode, you can exit to desktop and return, this will realign the mouse.
