I started having this same issue last night during raid. I updated all my addons, tried licking cursor to window, unplugged my monitor and mouse and plugged them back in. Scanned and repaired game and restarted game. Nothing seems to be a permanent fix.
Same issue here, no addons. Mouse will turn into the 4-way arrow, especially after tabbing onto a different window. Never used to happen, probably started with the update as everyone else is saying.
Itâs definitely not addon related. I have this issue on the patch 10.1 PTR and currently addons arenât working so theyâre all turned off, yet I still have the issue.
I checked the MouseNoRepositioning CVAR and itâs set at 0.
I have addons enabled, but have ready so many forum posts with no addons or with addons and it still happens. I have only had this issue with 10.0.7.
Iâve tried enabling â1â and disabling â0â the MouseNoRepositioning CVAR to the same issue.
Hopefully this gets fixed soon. As its annoying to move as a strafe player 
This just started happening to me today. Itâs incredibly annoying and needs to be fixed.
same game is unplayable
The game is literally unplayable for me. I have reinstalled, disabled all addons, installed to a new drive, reinstalled GPU drivers. This is absurd.

Having the same problem here. Only solution Iâve found so far is to restart the game.

Getting this issue as well. It went away for some time until I had to reinstall Windows 11. Iâve done clean launches, repairs, reinstalls & driver checks as well as just about every other solution.
One thing Iâve noticed is that it typically only happens after I tab back in, and thereâs a graphical âboxâ flash that occurs in the middle of the screen and distorts the game as if some sort of program is launching or trying to take priority. It only lasts for half a second.
The only other things I might have in common is my computer is an HP, and I have McAfee and the Razer Synapse software up. Not sure if anyone is in the same boat there.
I really hope this is fixed in a reasonable time. Itâs very clearly on Blizzardâs end. It doesnât make the game unplayable, exactly, but itâs distracting enough and causes wrist fatigue from the mouse not snapping back to the center.
Someone FIX this ASAP!!!
Logged in today for the first time in several days (maybe a week), and voila, the problem has stopped happening. I didnât change anything. I donât think Windows had any updates, although it might have.
For reference, the problem was happening to me immediately, every time I logged in, on every character; I didnât have to do anything to âtriggerâ it. But now itâs just not happening at all (so far, anyway; fingers crossed).
EDIT: It started happening again when I logged into a different character (without exiting the game client). I was logged into my mage for half an hour or so, no problem; switched over to my DH, and suddenly the problem was occurring again.
This started happening to me tonight. I was streaming at the time so I clipped one occurrence. It happens at 0:19 in the clip. I am running on a single monitor in Windowed (Fullscreen) mode. Exiting the game and restarting the game cleared it for me temporarily but it always happens again. Here is the URL for the clip https://clips.twitch.tv/CleverInnocentTurtleSwiftRage-jlC726Yhxe2aS2LX
Yea also having the same issue on classic wotlk but not on retail which is oddly weird?? I was fine on retail but when I got on to classic it happen.
I am getting it on retail and it is driving me crazy
When I fixed the game frame rate at 60hz, the situation improved. I have played for an hour without this problem.

can confirm this is still an issue. just had my first experience dealing with it in the middle of a skirmish. it happened to me after i was spinning my camera around REALLY REALLY fast, then suddenly it stopped spinning, and when i got into the match i noticed the little cross.

I would absolutely love a fix or workaround to this issue. It breaks the gameplay for me and I have to constantly restart client to fix (until it happens again). Whatever is setting MouseNoRepositioning starting happening for me at the patch 4-6 weeks ago.

Happened twice to me today in the middle of m+, never happened before and I play this game a LOT. Nothing has changed today that would have caused this to start, have not even updated addons in weeks.
