Description
This patch fixes bug #737387 ("SAM: Part of text (subtitles) disappears when moving mouse"), albeit in a slightly hacky way.
The problem is that our useIm01Cursor() works by drawing the cursor image to the upper left corner, from which it then copies it into _grabbedCursor before finally restoring the screen. It's the last step that doesn't quite work. I think it simply redraws the original background, and that does not include the text that was drawn there.
This patch fixes that by copying the screen are to a temporary buffer and restore it from there instead. A nicer solution would probably be if useIm01Cursor() could render the image directly into _grabbedCursor instead, like useBompCursor() does, but I'm not familiar enough with the code.
There is a possibly related glitch with The Dig, where it draws a cursor image in the upper left corner without erasing it afterwards. Unfortunately this patch does nothing whatsoever to fix that.

I think this isn't really a hack, rather it cleans up the hack which useIm01Cursor is ;-)
Anyway, the "nice" fix you mention would mean to either write a seperate function to decode the image data (i.e. duplicate code from drawBitmap), or to make drawBitmap "retargetable". Neither seems very appealing to me.
BTW a somewhat related issue: the only place useIm01Cursor is called is setCursorImg(), which is also called in script_v5.cpp. Yet for both V6 *and* older games, it seems thsi code is executed: setCursorHotspot(READ_LE_UINT16(&foir.imhd->old.hotspot[0].x), READ_LE_UINT16(&foir.imhd->old.hotspot[0].y)); w = READ_LE_UINT16(&foir.cdhd->v6.w) >> 3; h = READ_LE_UINT16(&foir.cdhd->v6.h) >> 3;
cdhd->v6 ? Not cdhd->old for V5 games ??? Very strange...
