@inoperable Could you add any more details/? That PR merged literally 5 days ago, I'm not sure it's even in a canary build currently

At some point the mouse pointer vanishes permanently after alt tab, I'm not sure what triggers it though. When restarting the terminal it seems fine for a while and then it start again.

It's weird, I thought it's because software rendering first, but nope,also toggled some other settings but I can't figure out when exactly it decides I don't need a mouse pointer shown at all.

Will update if I can pinpoint it more

Drives me nuts

It trigger must be in some onmouseover event handling on terminal window, not over the tab strip or borders (if that's of sny help). I'll get back to once I got more

This is behavior that's on-by-default for most text fields in Windows. When you start typing in a text input, the cursor vanishes.

Can you check if this setting is on: (just searching for "Pointer" should get you there)

Oh, and please confirm with us what exact version(-number) of Windows Terminal you're using. 🙂

It's not the behavior intended, I'm very sure about it, the is setting OS mouse settings is a good point to eliminate culprits - but it's not it.
What happens is that the pointer gets hidden all the time once the terminal window is in focus and the mouse pointer hovers over it. I can see settings buttons highlighting (as per on mouse over event) but no mouse pointer.

Term is 1.23.241213001-llm, OS 27764.1000 & 19045.4651
