Cursor hides while typing.

[welshtedz]

So recently my mac has decided to hide my Cursor/Pointer while typing, it doesn't really bother me much when i am browsing the web, But when i start to talk to my friends online then i have problems.
So when I'm typing to a friend the IM ( MSN ) hides the cursor so after i finished typing and press Enter then the message will send then realizing i have made a mistake or want to add a quick message on to the IM then i must have to click on the type box again because it dont keep init for some reason.

So i have looked in System Preferences and can't find nothing to turn this off.
I was wondering if any of you could help me?
Thanks
- Tedz

This is normal behavior. It disappears so you can see what you're typing. I'm not aware of a way to change this behavior.

I hadn't even realised that it did this until you pointed it out.

I'm not aware of any way to turn it off, though chances are there's some sort of terminal command that would do it, if you could find it.

COMMAND+TAB to the app.
TAB to the field you want.

Much quicker.
