Cursor() crashes Java VM

[drewhamiltonasdf]

I was having issues with the Java VM crashing while running a rather complex processing sketch running multiple PApplets with runSketch() on multiple monitors in fullScreen() mode.

After about 2 minutes, the program would crash, spitting out the dreaded "Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize)." After testing multiple versions I am 100% confident that the issue is cursor().

I assume this is some fatal combination of multiple PApplets within a sketch and Cursor(). Just thought I should mention it so the gurus know. Here's the rest of the dump:

The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.

I don't know if this is related, but today after an nvidia graphics card update, suddenly a message that says "Could not run the sketch (Target VM failed to initialize).
For more information, read revisions.txt and Help ? Troubleshooting.
" started to show even on a blank sketch with nothing in it, preventing anything from running. sorry to piggyback, but my search for the most recent post lead me here.

@aarondbaron Please use this issue only for the original topic. Go to #4853 for Nvidia driver issue.

@drewhamiltonasdf Which renderer are you using? Default (Java2D), P2D, P3D, FX2D? Multiple windows are currently not supported, so I'm not sure if I will be able to help you.

[drewhamiltonasdf]

I've been using P3D.

Multiple PApplet objects in one sketch is bound to cause a lot of problems, not just with cursor(). That's not a supported or documented way of working.
