Alt-Tab and cursor freezing

This problem has driven me nuts for years and I was hoping SL would fix this but not such luck.

The problem is that when I alt-tab to switch to another App my cursor in most cases is frozen until like a second after I move my finger around the trackpad. It's like it turns off until I wake it up. It happens most often if I switch to a app and then click something in that app and then switch to another.

For example, I use Lightroom quite a bit. If i change to a preset then alt-tab to another app I ALWAYS will have to wiggle my finger on trackpad for a second or two before it becomes responsive.

Anyone know why this is or what I can do about it?
