      Tearing my hair out here.

      Line tool icon is the excact mirror opposite of how it looks on the toolbar so the selection point on the screen is in the middle of nowhere.

      Other tools are the same, material fill bucket etc.

      Windows XP pro 64 bit

        There is a difference between Windows versions like 95, 98, Me vs. XP, Vista, 7, 8. The first ones show the cursor the other way round and are unsupported by SketchUp. It is strange that XP 64bit behaves similar.

        Does that happen with plugins' cursors as well? Plugins use standard png files instead of the proprietary .cur format, it could be related to that.

              (Not sure if you are the same person…) but Tommy shared a secret trick that they have probably built into SketchUp to work-around the issue. There is a registry key to flip the cursors correct:
              %(#000000)[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\Preferences\FlipCursors = 1 (DWORD)]
