After typing the text, selecting it, and copying it with Ctrl+C, I did experience a similar issue.
The gedit cursor did disappear, but I think that's normal - it disappears when you select text. But when I copied the text, the mouse curor disappeared as well, which was not expected. It also started flickering when I moved it. Do you experience this movement-related flickering? Also, do you experience these issues when long-pressing Alt on the window? When I long-press Alt, the flickering starts as well. If I short press it, the HUD is activated, and the flickering is not. The flickering stops once gedit is unfocused. I also documented the bug in this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/541226/mouse-cursor-dissapears-when-long- pressing-alt-in-gedit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387219 Title: Mouse pointer disappears and cursor stops blinking To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1387219/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
