'SysListView32' Bug with multiple items selection: still not fixed in Windows 11 23H2

When I use our own 32 bit application, the mouse cursor still jumps to a corner when I do the lasso selection in a listview (click and drag a rectangle to select multiple listview items).

From what I've found in the internet, the program might use a SysListView32 where the behavior is a known bug.

The bug been marked as "fixed" in Win10 already, but we still see the problem in Windows 11 23H2.

The application was build with C++ Builder 2007 using the VCL.

Unfortunately we can't use a newer compiler for that program.

Some links for the same problem:

winapi - bug with listview scrolling during mouse lasso selection (windows 10 update 16299) - Stack Overflow

Is there any workround we could implement so that the cursor does not jump anymore?
