Mouse cursor problem on Safari, not turning into pointing finger on links

Hi everyone,


It's been a few days now that I have had a mouse cursor problem on Safari. My mouse cursor does not change to the pointing finger when hovering over a link, the cursor remain as the arrow. The links work once I click on them but it is very inconvenient. A consequence of this problem is that the disappearing control commands on video players do not show up unless I click in the middle of the screen (which pauses the video), then the commands show up. The strangest thing is that the problem only happens on new tabs on Safari, the first tab works perfectly fine (the cursor changes to the pointing finger over links).

I have consulted many old topics, advising to try on a Guest profile and in Safe mode.

As a Guest : the problem does not happen at all, on any new tab.

In Safe mode : the problem happens exactly the same as after a normal launch of my session.


The problem only occurs on Safari. Chrome and Mozilla do not display this problem of cursor once I open new tabs. If somebody as any advice to help me locating what in my personal settings is causing the problem I would very much appreciate it.


Here are the specs of my MacBook Air :

macOS Mojave Version 10.14.4

MacBook Air (13-inch, 2017)

Processor 1,8 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory 8 Go 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 Mo


If you need any additional information I would gladly provide it. Thank you in advance for considering this request.

Best regards,


MA

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14
