Description Manga Tengu 2019-10-11 20:08:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
Mouse pointer randomly appearing on the brush outline after popup appears.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set cursor shape to no cursor in preferences. Now when using the brush you shouldn't see the mouse cursor
2. While still using the brush tool, for example cmd+O to display the open... pop up reproduces quite well the problem
3. Close the pop up. Sometimes you still have the cursor stuck on your brush shape (doesn't always work so you need to repeat a few times if it doesn't)

OBSERVED RESULT
You have a mouse cursor stuck in the middle of your brush shape. To get rid of it I need to get the cursor out of the canvas and back.

EXPECTED RESULT
No cursor stuck in the middle of the brush shape

in case this doesn't show in the ticket (I fill the form though...)
This is on macOS mojave latest + Krita 4.2.7.1
but the problem is not new at all. Just had a hard time to pin point it.

Yes, I've been able to reproduce this. I'm not sure where the bug is, though...

It seems to happen in random softwares. So maybe it's mac specific...
For example I'm working in Eclipse and some slack popup appears. My caret becomes a mouse cursor and I have to do similar tricks to get it back to normal.

In Krita my work around is to either get out and in the canvas or invoke a quick tool like the eye dropper. Makes me think we need to be able to make the layer docker popable like the color and paint preset selectors ! That would be so cool.

the latter wouldn't be too hard; it might even be made generic, a way to add all dockers as popup buttons to the toolbar. But that would be a (new) wish bug. If the issue with the cursor also happens in other applications (I wouldn't have noticed, because I use three applications on macOS, Terminal, Krita and Firefox...), then it's not a bug in Krita, I'm afraid.
