What is happening with IMatch that lately (over the past month or so), whenever I double-click an image file to send it to the viewer, all seems well, until I right-click to bring up the context menu?  Here I run into what is seemingly a bug - when I move the mouse cursor/pointer with my mouse (or just wait a second or two), suddenly, the mouse pointer disappears.  I've of course attached a log file (in debug mode) for your analysis.  Thanks.

The Viewer is supposed to hide the mouse cursor when you have not moved it for a few seconds.
And show it again when you move the mouse, press a key or open a menu. 
From your writing I think I understand (?) that opening context menu via right-click does not show the mouse cursor?
I will have a look for the next regular release.

Exactly! 

Of course, I understand that the cursor should hide after a few seconds of inactivity, when hovered just over the rendered image itself.  But, in the presence of the right-click menu, it hides indefinitely, until ESC is issued from the keyboard, which in turn, cancels the right-click menu.

But the menu is functional. You can see which item is highlighted, even if the cursor is not visible.
I will provide a fix for this minor issue in the next regular service release.
