ZoomIt 7.2 to 8.01: The mouse pointer disappears when I try to exit "Draw" mode while using "LiveZoom"

The mouse pointer disappears when I try to exit the "Draw" mode during a "LiveZoom."
By double-clicking the right mouse button, the display exits both the Draw mode and the LiveZoom mode, returning to the normal full-screen view (i.e. without zoom).
However, at this point, the mouse cursor is missing from the screen.
To make it reappear, I need to enter and exit the LiveZoom mode again, by using the corresponding key combination twice in a row.

The issue occurs with all versions from 7.2 to 8.01, both x86 and x64, on Windows 10 and 11. I have tested it on multiple computers at school, and the problem persists across all of them

To clarify, ZoomIt is a fantastic utility and is essential for anyone teaching computer science in high schools. It allows me to effectively present applications and programs to students. However, this bug is quite annoying when using the incredibly useful Draw feature, which enables me to write and highlight things directly on the screen.
