Mouse Position Resets after Mouse Scroll

I am creating software simulations with Adobe Captivate 9 and I'm running into an annoying problem

I understand how Captivate creates the simulation slides and how the mouse position is inherited from the previous slide, etc...

The issue is when I scroll up or down during the simulation recording, Adobe creates a small video of the scroll. The issue arises in the next slide, since the scroll portion is a video, not a traditional slide, there is no mouse position to inherit therefor the mouse position resets to the top left of the screen.

this makes the simulation very confusing for audiences.

I found a similar post where someone suggested add a mouse to the scrolling video to set the position which does work however then you end up with 2 mouses in the final published product (1 mouse object and 1 mouse in the video).

Does anyone have a better workaround?

I really do hope this issues is addressed in the 2017 release.

Thanks
