Type cursor disappearing when editting code

Hello all,
i am encountering a problem where the typing cursor disappears when im editting my code. This really is ennoying and bothers the heck out of me.
Especially when im navigating trough the code using the arrow keys - i simply can't see where i'm at in the code.
Right now i am very disapointed because it has taken me months pondering, whether or not to sign up for Creative Cloud (Student membership).
Now that i finally singed for a year's commitment, i see the code editor is virtually unusable because of the cursor-in-hiding....
Hopefully this issue will be fixed sooner than later or i will have to cancel my subscription and deny Adobe from charging my credit card for the monthly fee :-(
Has anyone else been undergoing the same problem, and maybe fixed it?
Gr.
Niels

That is a known issue to Adobe. Apparently, it's a defect caused by the new code highlighting behavior. You can submit an official bug report here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Cursor disappears when using Photoshop, anyone else?

My cursor disappears when using Photoshop, I have to leave the program to get it back. Happens constantly since installing 10.8.3.
Was fine for years, until I upgraded my OS

NEW, 1ST TIME POST
I'd like to see some real effort on the part of Apple to 1) address the issue and 2) post a fix.
I've been using the same equipment for several years (27" iMac and a Wacom Intous4). Everything was lovely until 'upgrading' to the latest OS… The cursor dissappears at will. I can NOT predict the event, only that I have only found it occurring in Photoshop.
Contacted Wacom. No help there.
I got VERY tired of having to close PS to get the cursor back. My tablet is hard-wired and my keyboard is an Apple wireless. Of course, w/o a cursor, how are you going to click on anything… Keyboard worked, but not the Wacom. Finally got out my wireless [Apple] mouse, fired it up, and used it as a 'backup' (for crashing my way out of PS). The mouse never interferred with operation. THOUGHT it was a Wacom problem, because I've yet to create the event with a normal mouse. I admit I rarely, RARELY use a mouse. Seems that I can't draw with a rock…
Aggravated by the lack of interest across the board, I discovered quite by accident one day a work-around: flip to a different desktop and then right back. Voila. Cursor is back. I've got 4 desktops available, so it is a quick CTL + arrow. My work-around works for me WITHOUT FAIL. Pay attention Apple/Adobe/Wacom. Apparently something here is refreshing whatever and solving the problem. Until the next time, of course.
Apple - Adobe - Wacom, please don't think we're 'satisfied' and we'll fix it in the NEXT mulit-thousand dollar computer/OS/tablet purchase. I love the products, but with this latest OS, you have a perfect storm of bugs (don't ask me about dropping the Internet DAILEY, s-l-o-w to non-existent blutooth connectivity, new 3D weird actions or [insert drumroll] 'THE CLOUD').
Call any of those listed and get ready for a raft of denial and finger-pointing. I admit, you quickly find yourself somewhere like the Phillipines or India, trying to talk to someone who can't converse with you in you own language, but that is NOT the fault of us, the end-users.
Finally: 'Caps lock'? Please. Give the guy SOME credit. Maybe the light was burnt out on the keyboard?
C'mon. Get with it guys!! Denial mixed with 'passing the buck' is not an answer. And you want MORE MONEY out of me?????
I agree with lkooz, break out the Beseler — I'll get the trays ready…

Cursor disappears when Rt-justify numeric data items

Thank you,
Bob

ColdFusion Builder - Slow when editing code

I have seen this many times on other forums, but haven't found any working solutions - my installation of the standalone Coldfusion Builder 1.0.0.25339 is nearly always very very slow when editing code (wehether this is cfm or css) i'm assuming the code hinting it somewhat to blame, but don't want to turn it off.
Any help/solutions welcomed.

The current state of the product is that it's rife with performance problems.
Hopefully they'll be fixed in the next release.
What you're seeing is just how it currently works (ie: slowly).

Cursor disappears when writing text?

I have a frustrating problem in CS3 that when writing a block of text, either with text tool or area text tool, that the cursor disappears. I need to see its new position after using the space bar or tab: ready to input the next piece of text.
It seems to be flashing some of the time if I click into the middle of the text block, but disappears where I want to continue it at the bottom of the text block?

This bug is still in Illustrator CS5
And it depends on aplication main window size!
Especialy if you have two monitors, document window is outside the main window and main application window is not maximized.
If you have application window smaller, than document window (in height), then where document height is still bellow application window height,
there you can see cursor. If you are editing text in position which is over the main application height, there is not cursor visible.
So, my solution is:
Resize main application window to the maximum size.
(And maybe you will need restart Illustrator)
(UPDATE: It depends on window width too! )

Cursor disappears when using FF EpubReader--doesn't reappear with reboot.

I make ebooks for authors/publishers. I have them install FF with the EpubReader addon to proof first "drafts" of the epubs. One author, who has successfully used this method for two books, suddenly has no I-beam cursor whatsoever in the EpubReader frame. The cursor is an arrow when on whitespace on the EPR page; but when placed over text, the cursor disappears. Rebooting the computer has not helped, and it's now happening with all of her epubs in that FF & EpubReader installation. The cursor works fine in every other app.
Client is 1,000 miles from me, but does have a local tech guy who can assist if I can point him in the correct direction.
I really need help with this, there's no other viable way for my clients to proof these epubs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Cursor disappears when a video using Flash is in Safari

Hello,
My cursor disappears whenever I'm on a web page (using Safari) that uses Flash for video. It is 100% repeatable on any Flash/video website. On my other machine (an iMac running Snow Leopard) this does not happen.
If you would like to see what I'm talking about, as an example, go here:
http://vimeo.com/
Let the page load so that the "introductory" video can play. While it's playing, move your cursor anywhere on top of the video that's playing and watch it disappear. It's hard to find it again.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
(I'm using a MacBook Pro. Operating system is 10.7.1 Lion. All software updates are complete. The battery is charged, the computer is turned on, and it is plugged into electricity. I did a search of this forum and found one other question regarding this same topic, but nobody had answered it.)

The behaviour I get is that if the cursor is left on top of the video, it disappears after a second or two. As soon as I move the mouse or trackpad, it reappears. Which is exactly what I would want to happen. Perhaps when you are "waking up" the cursor you are doing so with a large random movement of the trackpad? It only takes the slightest movement to make it reappear more or less where you left it.
There is, of course, always the option of parking the cursor somewhere else on the screen where you will not lose it.

Liquify Cursor disappears when Saving and Loading Mesh (CC 2014.2.2)

Hello.
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 for Mac on a perfectly built hackintosh (Yosemite, i7-4770K, GTX770, Intuos5 L, 32Gb RAM, 2 monitors).
The arrow cursor disappears randomly when dragged over the Save Mesh or Load Mesh dialogues. It's not that the arrow cursor disappears completely. Actually, instead of switching from liquify cursor to arrow cursor as it should, it stays a circle and I can see it behind the save/load mesh window. In order to make the arrow appear in front of the save/load mesh, I have to move it out of it, and carefully move it back in. If I drag the save/load mesh window to an area of the screen clear of the liquify filter window or to my second screen, the problem goes away.
Also, when liquifying, the cursor is a little laggy, like at a low frame rate and behind my pen. I can liquify with no problem, but I can't remember if this is the way the liquify cursor behaves now that the it is GPU accelerated.
All these problems go away if I disable "use graphics processor", but that's a no go for me. I have tried both OS X Default Graphic Driver and NVIDIA Web Driver, but it makes no difference.
Any ideas?
THANKS!

I've noticed it happens particularly when the arrow touches any of the text input fields, among other ways I haven't identified yet. The save mesh and load mesh are the only dialogs across Photoshop on which this problem happens.
Notice that the blue cursor drawn by me is where the cursor should be, and note that the liquify cursor can be seen behind the open mesh dialogue. In this case I have to draw the cursor outside of the open window, and drag it back in making sure I don't touch the search field.

My brush cursor disappear when i zoom in

Hi,
My Photoshop has been upgraded to CS5.5 now.
When I used my circle brush tool before, I can see the size of my brush in a circle so
I know where to paint. Now this circle is disappearing when I use my brush tool when zooming in the picture.
I did change the Cursors in Perferences, I set it to Normal Brush Tip and Full Size Brush Tip.
Same thing again. I could only see the whole circle brush when looking at my image at 100%.
When I zoom in more than 100%, circle brush is gone and is replaced with a quarter circle.
See the image before.
Do anyone know what I'm missing and what setup I need to make in order to bring back
the normal brush cursor?
Thanks.

Most likely, like other people posting this exact same problem in this forum, you have an older NVidia video card driver that you haven't updated in the past year or two.
Go update the driver from NVidia's web site.

Brush cursor disappears when zoomed in.

Hello,
As the title states and like many of you on here, I am having mucho issues with PS CS4. I'm running a dell precision 490 with xp x64, a quad-core 2.6ghz, 16gb ram, and an nvidia quadro fx 4600. I can't see why I am having issues other than x64 causing some of it. Anyhow, after running the opengl registry fix, now when I zoom in my brush cursor disappears or is just a fragment of the cursor. I'm using the suggested GPU driver, but am considering trying a beta version that I have found. Has anyone else had a similar experience with this and how did you fix it? Thanks in advance and thank god I still have CS2 installed.

As already mentioned a few dozen times: update your video card driver. This was a known problem with drivers that has already been fixed for most card/OS combinations.

Cursor movement when editing suggestion for future

It would be nice if there was a way to move cursor over left or right when editing, trying to use your fingernail to get to the right spot takes more effort than it's worth

Tell Apple then http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Personally I've had no difficulty as I tend to 'roll' my fingertip for finer movement rather than slide it.

Cursor disappears when iMac wakes since installing Mavericks

Since installing mavericks on my iMac (Intel), the cursor sometimes disappears when the computer wakes. I have to shut down and restart to get it back. Anyone have a solution?

Stop sleepiing the computer and its HDs, only the display. Never had your issue and have been running this way for years 24/7.

Type disappears when editing in InDesign CC

When selecting type -- either placing the cursor in a text frame or double-/triple-clicking to select a word or line of text -- the selected text is momentarily invisible. Deselecting all makes it reappear, as does zooming in or out. However, it is difficult to edit text when you can't see it. This problem occurs randomly. I updated from CS5.5 about two weeks ago, and am running OS X Mavericks on a Mac Pro with 32 GB of memory.

In the last few days I've encountered the same disappearing type issue. Editing is now very complicated. Placing the cursor into the text box will make the line that the cursor is in disappear, then I blindly type my change, and as I begin to type, ALL the text in the text box disappears. To see the text box again, I figured out that when I scroll down the page and the "empty" block disappears at the top of my work window, I can scroll back down and the text reappears in the text box. This is most inconvenient when I have my client on the phone rapidly giving me corrections.
I'm running Maverick 10.9.2 and InDesign CC 9.2.1

Text disappears when editing a layer in Dreamweaver 8

I have had a problem for a long time now with text
disappearing while I'm editing it in a layer. If I scroll up to the
top of the page and down again (sometimes a couple of times), the
text will reappear, but this is cumbersome (and rather annoying).
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it something I'm doing
incorrectly? Any help anyone can offer would be greatly
appreciated.

Do you still have this problem when you
select that layer in the layers panel?
