I left my game on for a long time (without playing) and get graphic issues. They fix themselves when I play. More on that in a bit.

First, I noticed there are many more stars than there normally are on the main screen. This was after about six hours. Also, the background was flickering shades of blue (but it was slight).

I decided to play a game after about two days. In the game selection menu, the BACK button was going super fast (seemed to be doing the full animation 75/2 times per second (my refresh rate / 2) or something).

I went in-game, and noticed something was wrong, but couldn't nail it. Until I started using a spinner. A pink border appeared around the edge of my screen ... it was the trail from my cursor! I couldn't capture it very well, though. In this screenshot, the problem isn't as severe as it was (trail went on for about one second before fading away).

After I failed the game (cursor issue was too disturbing) the issues disappeared.

I can try and reproduce these bugs, but it'll take a while. =] I bet it's due to idleness, and not leaving the game on for a long time, though.

The main menu background is supposed to be changing colour. Also if you hover your mouse over the "osu" button the stars are supposed to multiply.

I've had some problems with leaving osu on for too long (a few hours) - usually it shows up as slight lagginess for me.

I know that. I'm saying it seems to flicker, not fade, and there are more stars than usual (for any song).

No lag here, by the way. (I get over 9000 FPS anyway. (Not really -- more like 2000FPS. =[))

UPDATE: Retried. Left it on longer this time. Managed to get a screen of the cursor issue in-game (throwing my mouse around to stress the problem) as well as take a screenshot of the stars issue.

I kinda know about this issue, as it popped up a few times before for me (but I thought I did have it fixed). Can you please list your graphics settings (opengl/directx and whether you have limit framerate enabled or not).

I'll try another update to make sure.

Trimmed out most non-video parts:

Unrelated question: will other fullscreen resolutions be supported? (Interested in higher ones. Custom letterbox is fine, but unsupported by my monitor (native 1280x1024, so 1024x768 is slightly off aspect and 1280x960 is too).)
