Losing cursor...

Hi, any time I capture a selected area on the screen (Command Shift 4), I lose the cursor. It turns invisible.

Anyone else ever see this? I'm using Mojave 10.14.3.

Thanks!

Cursor always shows in screenshot bug in Mojave Despite having the option for "Show mouse pointer" un-checked, since installing Mojave I am seeing my mouse cursor in every single screenshot. This didn't happen in High Sierra. Is there a known fix for this issue?

Disappearing Mouse Cursor when using Command + Tab Whenever I use Command Tab to switch between apps on Mojave, my cursor disappears. Even when I hit Command Tab again to come back to the app I was in before, the cursor is still missing. I can use right-click or go to Mission Control to bring it back, but this is a new issue I've never had before, and it's really bothersome to have to keep doing this to stop my mouse from disappearing. Any tips?

Screenshot App (NOT keyboard command, application) Since I've upgraded to Mojave, when I use the screenshot app to capture a section of my screen, it will take the first screen shot, but then the screen stays dark except for the area where I took the screenshot. Can't force quit because it doesn't show as one of the applications. Using the keyboard commands doesn't affect it. In fact, using cmd+Shift+5 I can capture the area of my previous capture. The only solution I have found is a reboot. Any suggestions?
