Bugfix Request: Hidden mouse
Bugfix Request: Hidden mouse
There is a long-time problem / bug that I have experienced while using Ableton Live. When my mouse is not in Pen Tablet mode and dragging parameters or the Beat-Time Ruler on top, the mouse will hide and stay in the same place. This is a very convenient feature, but in some cases the mouse will fail to exit that state, resulting in the mouse hidden whenever it is in the app. Although I don't have access to Ableton Live's source code, but I have a few suggestions. This bug can be easily fixed by adding fail-handling or just add a routine check to recover visibility of the mouse whenever it is not pressed. This bug has been there with me for a relatively long time, and I hope that someday it gets fixed.

Which OS are you using?
I'm also experiencing the mouse disappearing now and then (it's been indeed happening for many many years) and I need to go to another macOS "Space", move the mouse erratically and it comes back after a few seconds. I never noticed any pattern that would trigger this issue, though.
