Yeah, that's what happened when I tried playing "Maniac Mansion". I later discovered that you have to let it do so in order for you to use your mouse properly in games that have mouse functionality. Pressing ESC will restore your normal cursor.
I have encountered other games that don't work correctly. "Castle Wolfenstein" runs at about 3 billion FPS, for example. It's using a Dosbox backend, but I don't know if it is in any way configurable to correct for issues like this.
