Why is there god damn pointer icon in VB toolbox ????

Sometimes while programing in VB (.net and earlier), we click on the toolbox to pick up a control so as to paste it to form, but then we realize... Oops!!! I picked up the wrong control.

Then, how to get rid of this control. Answer to this is fairly simple ----> Click on the pointer icon shown on the toolbox and.... Whoosh the sticky control is gone. Now I can pick a new control easily.

The pointer icon is pretty handy when VB starts behaving odd to us and the control sticks to the mouse pointer and even Esc etc keys fail.
