Mouse disappears on when typing on mac

Hi, when I type my mouse disappers on mac and sometimes I don't know where the mouse is....

That's normal; it's been that way on Mac OS's for decades. It's easy to get the mouse cursor back - just wiggle the mouse.

As far as I know there's nothing in the OS's preference settings or controls to change that behavior.

As Don Archibald says, this is normal for Mac OS X.

If you have difficulty seeing your cursor when moving the mouse/trackpad after it has disappeared, you could install Mouse Locator (free download)

You can even set Mouse Locator to infinity and have a visual indicator where your cursor is every moment.

Open a text doc - just about any, including a reply box in these forums.

Note the blinking cursor, indicating where text will start when typed. Note also the mouse's cursor has changed to an i-beam type cursor.

Then type, at least one character. The blinking cursor remains visible, but that's not the mouse cursor; the i-beam, the mouse's cursor, does vanish, and remains invisible until the mouse is wiggled or equivalent.

1) Go to

System Preferences -> Accessibility -> Display

2) Change the

"Cursor size" to "Normal"

Explanation:

I guess the developers want the user to change size of i-beam along with size of cursor, but somehow no corresponding size of i-beam is attached.

Hope this helps

If you reboot is the problem still there?

(never mind, post deleted)

I guess you read my post before I deleted it. I was able to see it (or not see it to be more precise). Just never bothered me all these years so it sunk into my sub-conscious.
