Mouse won't change to cursor:pointer on hover

Normally I could probably just deal with it, but as a web developer, I frequently need this to function properly.

It doesn't seem to matter what browser I'm in, occasionally it'll get into this mode where hovering over a button or link won't allow it to change to an actual hover state. The only way I've found to get it out of this broken mode is to reboot, which needless to say, becomes very frustrating.

I've seen this bug since at least Sonoma, I was really hoping it'd be fixed by now, but it doesn't seem to be.

Does anyone know of any solutions, or what might be causing the issue so that I can avoid it?

Or, does anyone know how they're coming with the fix, or if they're actually working on a fix for this?

I don't think I'm the only one experiencing this, after doing lots of research over the years, it seems that many others experience this too.

Any advice, information, or hope is greatly appreciated.
