Mouse pointer disappears.

The mouse pointer disappears when running two displays and visualiser is running in full screen on one with the music app on the same display but it disappears from both unless its on the dock then it reappears.

It doesn't matter wether its on the main display or the secondary one.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

Bug or Setting? Has anyone else seen this and is it a bug or a setting that needs adjusting? It's very difficult to describe. I have a MacBook Pro with and external display attached. Sometimes if I drag an app from the MacBook to the external display it "rotates" over so it looks like an app does when it's docked to the side in stage manager. It then won't stick to the external display and returns to the MacBook display. Sometimes I can get it to drag ok by doing random things like double clicking on the external display background or changing to another screen (there's no particular pattern I've found that works every time). Other times I have to close the app and reopen it. I hope that all makes sense. Has anybody any idea what's going on?

The Dock and FCPX? Last year I complained that I was getting irritated by the way the hidden Dock kept popping up accidentally when my cursor unintentionally went too far below the timeline in FCP X. A number of solutions were suggested but eventually I decided to keep the icons small and visible at all times. Today I decided to try hiding the dock but when I moved my cursor to the bottom of the screen it did not appear. This baffled me for several minutes until I discovered that the cursor needs to be at the bottom of the screen for 3 seconds in order for the dock to appear. Can this timing delay be altered?
