Screenshot, but the double cursors were not captured :(

I've searched for similar bugs and found the exact same one I am experiencing here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344190

It is marked as "fixed", although it clearly wasn't (the person reporting the bug decided to change the tablet settings, but the bug wasn't fixed).

Description: I have two cursors while using Krita. The bug is seen only over the canvas surface, not the rest of the interface. One cursor (the brush)represents the absolute position of the pen on my tablet. The other (a crosshair) moves with either the tablet or laptop trackpad, and represents the relative cursor position ("mouse mode"). This bug happens because I've changed Windows tablet default settings to "mouse mode". Krita works fine, but having to constantly keep an eye on both cursors is annoying. I have accidents very often (accidentally touching anything outside the canvas). I would love to be able to use Krita while keeping the mouse mode settings for my tablet, or at least get rid of the double cursor.

I tried taking a screenshot but the crosshair cursor was eliminated automatically on capture.

My tablet is a XP-Pen Star 03 series. 
Using Windows 10 Home edition

Thanks.

Um, yes, it's marked "fixed" because we don't have a resolution "settings are messed up, not Krita's fault", which would be more accurate. We can't help it if some settings for some tablets do really weird things...

How odd! I understand, thanks for your time anyway. It's the only software
it has given me trouble with so far.

Regards
