Loss of Mouse Pointer
« on: March 11, 2020, 10:41:39 am »

I had something weird happen just now. I was playing a record on my iMac when suddenly the window disappeared (top toolbar still there). So I change View to Theater and back, after which I couldn't see the mouse cursor anymore. It's kind of ghostly to try to click on buttons without seeing the pointer. Anyway, quitting and restarting MC corrected the issue. Log is attached.
Many thanks,

Hans

The Case Of The Disappearing Mouse is a well known one with MC for Mac.  It's been happening since at least MC21 if not longer.  Generally speaking, going to "display view" (Command-3) and back to Standard View (Command-1) fixes it for me. 

I can never figure out what triggers it, but it's been happening for quite a while.

I might be wrong, but I think it's the OS that controls the mouse.  I don't think MC does.

Thanks Brian, I’ll use that trick if it happens again. I’m quite a basic user so I don’t often switch views. Too bad the log doesn’t help figure out why it happens.
Cheers
