It seems your are blitting to screen and showing mouse at the same
time.  When you draw to screen you should hide mouse, freeze it using
freeze_mouse_flag or scare mouse (with scare_mouse/unscare_mouse).
If you are using double buffering, it might be better to draw mouse
yourself into double buffer just before blitting it to screen.
