[Bug 616858] Re: Mouse cursor in gvim is sometimes invisible

[Terry J. Opie]

"behave mswin" wasn't the cause of the original bug...  I've never had
that option in any of my rc files.  If you have mouse hide disabled the
issue goes away.  Once you enable mousehide the problem will pop back up
again.   I just verified this on 12.10...

Title:
  Mouse cursor in gvim is sometimes invisible

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim-gnome

  In some cases the mouse cursor within a gvim window disappears.  It is
  still there, just not visible, or under the window.  Left clicking and
  selecting text will make it reappear.  Searching within gvim for
  matching text can (sometimes) make the cursor disappear again.  This
  doesn't happen with every gvim window opened up, but even if it didn't
  happen when first opened, searching will cause it to disappear again.
