Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
The last version of Flash player(26.0.0.131) make the mouse pointer to flashing and then disappearing when the pointer is not moved.
I found that the Flash is the cause by disabling one by one the addons and plugins.

Re: Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
It seems that the problem is more complicated. Mean time I tested myself on clean profile and the issue is not present.
Then could be a bad interaction between the last vs. of flash and one of the addons even they are all disabled?
On the main profile I have the following addons: "New Scrollbars" / uBlock origin / Theme font & size changer / Zoom page

Re: Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
You can only find out by disabling all your extensions, and re-enabling them one by one. You can also try Safe Mode.

Re: Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
On my four 64 bit Windows 7 hard drives (2 desktop towers, 2 laptops), I do not have any problems with my mouse pointer and the newest version of Flash 26.0.0.131 when using 32 bit windows Pale Moon (27.3.0).
The only add-ons/extensions I use are NoSquint 2.1.9.1-signed.1-signed, Adblock Latitude 4.0.1 and a lightweight solid colored theme named Turquoise World.

Re: Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
You don't understand: on the main profile the issue is present even all the extensions are disabled. Maybe by removing the extensions one by one, but that is bad for me because I need for all. For the moment I set Flash to "ask to activate" to avoid this behaviour.back2themoon wrote:You can only find out by disabling all your extensions, and re-enabling them one by one.

Re: Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
Try playing with the hardware acceleration settings, on both Pale Moon (Options/Advanced/General) and Flash - then restart.
Did you recently update any drivers?

Re: Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
I just tried now all combination with HWA but no one have no infuence to the issue and I had no update for any driver in the last week.. I am shure the issue started with the today flash update.back2themoon wrote:Try playing with the hardware acceleration settings, on both Pale Moon (Options/Advanced/General) and Flash - then restart.

Re: Mouse pointer disappears because of Flash
This issue get weird and weird for me.
I built a new profile with same addons and customization..and there was no such issue untill I imported the session from the old profile (sessionstore.js) when the issue occured again. Then I thinked the "sessionstore.js"/sessionstore.bak is corrupted and I deleted them, then I imported the last session from the old profile as .html file and the issue is present again.
