I have Chrome as my default navigator and for some reason, whenever I'm on a website the mouse cursor stops showing unless I'm moving it around on my screen. This happens only when I'm on a website, works just fine when I'm on my desktop or using any other program. It still happens when I use the touchpad... Like, when I stop touching the touchpad the cursor on the screen just disappears and shows back up when I touch it again. It's weird that it only does so when running Chrome. I checked the mouse options on Control Panel and everything appears to be fine. And Chrome has no mouse settings, and if it does I cannot seem to find them. 
It just looks like it's something to do with the mouse settings on Chrome, like there's an option to make the cursor disappear when not in use, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, plus it just happened overnight, I never changed anything on the settings, maybe I accidentally typed a shortcut on my keyboard to make it happen and never realized? Anyone has a clue...? please please please.  |
Los misterios de la informatica.... Haven't heard that term since I was in Spain.... Anyway, I typed the problem and this seems to be an issue solver for most.... Hope it helps!
It does seem to be related to Flash (that damn Flash seems to have been at the root of a number of problems.) If you start the Chrome Task Manager (Shift+Esc) and end the Shockwave Flash Plug-in, the pointer / I-beam insertion point returns. There are a fair number of sites that propose installing what may be a Firefox plug-in -
