Some of you are really morons who think they know it all... makes multiple copies of itself?? lmfao you crack me up with this. Apparently you don't know anything about the paint event, it only refreshes when it has to redraw (ie: if you minimize then restore a window). The reason it appears to be "creating copies of itself" is because it's painting the crosshair on your screen. When you scroll up or down, the crosshair is already painted on the screen so it moves with the window because the paint event for that window hasn't been refreshed yet. Same thing if you drag an application over the crosshair, it won't go away unless you minimize it or drag it off-screen then back again. Try searching google if you don't know why something works the way it does...
