Swapping shields causes cursor to revert to Windows pointer

This is a seemingly harmless bug, and I've only tried to reproduce it with a mundane Small Shield so far. I've attached a save game for quick and easy testing.

Mods installed? Only this one.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the attached save game.
2. Open Viconia's inventory.
3. Equip the Reflection Shield.
4. Click the Small Shield and place it in the shield slot.
5. Notice that the two shields are swapped; the Small Shield is now equipped and the Reflection Shield is now selected/held. Do not drop the Reflection Shield.
6. Place the Reflection Shield in the shield slot.
7. Notice that the shields are not swapped; the Small Shield has seemingly disappeared.
8a. Click the Reflection Shield to reveal the Small Shield hidden underneath the Reflection Shield.
8b. Alternatively exit and re-open the inventory screen while the Small Shield is hidden, which will cause the Small Shield to appear in your inventory. It is not duplicated.

Note: the bug does not allow Viconia to get bonuses from both shields.

I suppose this could be tagged as a non-issue, as it doesn't seem to actually cause any problems with the game, but I can't say that for certain. If there is a version of this bug that managed to duplicate items that would certainly be an issue.

    This bug exists on my unmodded install as well.

    Excellent report; logged as 7037. It seems that the cursor icon becomes invisible when you swap shields this way; I've also gotten it with small shield +1 so far.

    If I get bored and swap between, the buckler and small shield, both found quickly in Irenicus' dungeon, after the fifth swap of items the cursor reverts to the windows mouse cursor and the lifted item is not displayed. The item is still lifted, and clicking on an empty inventory slot or another character causes the cursor to go back to the hand, rather than the Windows default cursor.

    This does not happen with other slots that I have seen so far.
