Starting from today, if I move my cursor on screen such that the OSD displays whilst playing a title, it doesn't then go away as it used to after 5 seconds or so. Is there anything I can do about this?

Well, I can right-click out of it, but what interests me is why the OSD has stopped disappearing itself like it used to.

There have been a few posts reporting the the OSD doesn't disappear, but as far as I can remember this is the first report that it was disappearing and has stopped.
Did anything change on your system? An operating system update, or any change to the XBMC settings? If you temporarily rename your profile folder and start XBMC with a new profile does the problem go away?

I've done a complete new reinstall, making sure to delete everything xbmc-related from my system, and the issue persists. It's a real puzzler.

Does the mouse cursor disappear after 5 seconds but the OSD stays up, or do both stay up?

The only time the OSD dissappears for me is when I move the mouse cursor to a different monitor or use escape. But on my other PC's (single monitor), the OSD and the mouse cursor does not hide unless I hit escape.

Okay, I'm having the exact same issue and it's driving me nuts. It had been working perfectly fine - Move mouse and OSD appears, then it would disappear after a few seconds if the mouse didn't move.
Not the OSD refuses to go away. Even more annoying, even if I right-click to make it go away, the mouse pointer arrow is still on the screen and refuses to fade away. So I have to move the mouse off to the bottom of the screen and then right click to make the OSD go away and not have the mouse pointer showing.
Anyone know what I can try to fix this? I don't recall changing anything on my system.
