Cursor Disappears in Split Screen

Has anyone experienced the cursor disappearing in Pages when in split screen mode? If I exit out of split screen and come back, the cursor reappears. I am using the latest version in Sonoma 14.0a

The cursor in Pages will disappear when you are in the other half of that split screen window as that is where pointer focus is now located. Click back in the other half of that split screen (presumably Pages) and the document cursor will reappear (unless it is a page layout document).
