I was experiencing this bug before I read Sebastien's message. I just installed ibus-gtk (it was not there before), and after a restart I no longer seem to have this bug. (I still experienced the bug before restarting.) I will post again if the bug resurrects itself, but for now, this seems to have fixed the issue -- thanks Sebastien!
In case it's useful to know, I think I already had ibus-gtk3 installed the whole time with the bug, but I can dig through the dpkg logs if someone would like me to double check. -- 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/gtksourceview/+bug/1387219/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
