Description aikebah 2014-08-09 13:57:26 UTC 
While working on java projects I'm experiencing random loss-of-visibility of my mouse-cursor. I'm having Netbeans open in the Mac OS X Full-Screen view. 
All of a sudden (not sure what triggers it) the mouse cursor becomes invisible. It is still there: I can click and whatever click-action is defined for the part of screen estate that is beneath it will trigger, but it does not show on screen.

Switching to a different desktop then swiping back to the full-screen Netbeans desktop makes the cursor re-appear properly until it decides to disappear again.

If there is any action I can take on 'disappeared mouse pointer' state in order to get more info I'd like to know. It seems to occur randomly, but frequent enough to annoy me during development.

Other behaviour that might be related: I sometimes loose the 'resize' cursor as in the cursor remains the default black arrow even when moving over resize-regions (resize lines between the various regions)
