Cursor defaults when Mac Alert (growl) pops up

Every single time I get an email notification, with an alert (used to be Growl), the notification bubble changes my cursor, from the gauntlet to the default arrow cursor. I then have to wait until the alert bubble drops, click on my desk top, and then click back into WoW, in order to get the gauntlet cursor back. Has anyone else experienced this, and does anyone know how to make it stop. I know I can turn off notifications, but I need those on for work.

I also have this happen with other apps that have custom cursors. I believe it’s a mac OS issue, not a Blizzard issue.

Indeed it is a Mac issue, but one that I am hoping Blizz can get sorted with Apple.

What I have learned today is, if you are playing in Windowed mode, when your notification badge goes away (you have to wait for it), you can mouse up to the window title bar, and then back into game area, and the gauntlet will return. Still annoying, but much better than clicking to desktop and back.
