STEPS TO REPRODUCE
A this time the bug appears intermittently, and unfortunately I do not detect any pattern in what triggers it. It occurs every couple days when using Krita on a daily basis.

OBSERVED RESULT
My mouse cursor will suddenly disappear when hovered over the windows or toolbars. The actual drawing cursor will be visible over the drawing space, but as soon as I drag the mouse over the program’s windows and buttons, the mouse disappears.

This doesn’t occur in any other program, so it appears to be a Krita-specific thing.

When I close Krita and reopen, the mouse will be visible again as it’s intended to be, but it’s only a matter of time before it disappears again. I haven’t noticed any pattern or event that triggers this.

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect the mouse cursor to always be visible when moved over the program's toolbars and window.

Hi,

What are your cursor settings? Settings->Configure Krita General->Cursor (best attach a screenshot of the complete dialog page).

Setting to needinfo, confirmed was a mistake...

I was able to duplicate the bug, and I don't think it's a Krita problem upon further review. I'd like to close out the bug.
I think that Lazy Nezumi Pro (a separate program) is the culprit, and was hiding the cursor if I put the PC to sleep and woke it up with both Krita and LN still running. I was able to duplicate this effect, and haven't had this happen with only Krita running by itself.

Thank you for taking the time to follow up, and sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for your comment!

Automatically switching the status of this bug to REPORTED so that the KDE team
knows that the bug is ready to get confirmed.

In the future you may also do this yourself when providing needed information.

Thanks for checking! Let's close the report then.
