To be honest, thinking about not updating anymore because Mavericks is here in a few weeks anyway... (info that changed your life, I know.)

WOW! You are the first person that I know that is having the same issue. I rarely get that, but when I do it is very annoying.

No, you're not alone. I've had it occur sporadically with Safari where the pointer would disappear but any mouse-over triggers on the webpage would be actioned when the invisible pointer tracked over it.

Disappearing cursor

You know, I think it has to do with a safari plug in -- I often get it with the pdf display plug in, and sometimes with flash.

I didn't know Apple still made computers or software for them.

Uneventful as usual. Don't notice any changes, but wasn't having any issues.

Still trying to resist installing the Mavericks until it's fully baked ...
