Since yesterday, the mouse cursor disappears whenever I switch between windows or open an applications. I can restore it instantly using 3 finger gesture (up then down). This is on a 2012 Macbook Pro .
Today, a second MacBook Pro has started doing the same behavior. A 2018 model with the touchbar.
Am I the only one with this issue?
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

“Regarding the default preferences, the only change I made on both laptops is to switch to dark mode.
There might have been updates, but nothing was installed since then. And there is not much software in common on these two machines, except for Google Chrome.
I rebooted the 2018 MacBook Pro this morning, and it started right at that moment.”

No. I have not come across this.
The only time my cursor goes away is if I am watching a video in full view, and leave my cursor off the progress bar or menu bar, while it is playing.
Have you modified any System Preferences, or installed any software, prior to when this started occurring?

Resetting the NVRAM is meant to fix this. You are all set.
Both computers are on Mojave. Tried restarting on the latest one, no change. I will try to reset SMC and NVRAM.
I did the NVRAM reset. Its been two hours and the cursor has not disappear since then (on the latest macbook). Seems to have fixed the issue on that laptop!
