mouse arrow vanishes

Hi,I'm wondering if anyone has found a way of solving this issue. The mouse works ok for a few minutes and then leaves and I have to close and go to the bottom of the screen and aim up ...guesswork to find the saving the changes panel and click yes if I'm lucky. It doesn't matter where I go within the daz screen,there is no cursor .This doesnt happen in other programs,only dad .It has done this on and off for a while but now its continuious. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program,upgraded and not been able to resolve it. Any suggestions would be appreciated,it's driving me crazy and I'm about to give up again.

    Some people were getting this when accidentally right clicking.

    I am pretty sure the trigger for that bug is accidentally pressing both mouse buttons at the same time. Or at least that is the only one I remember off the top of my head.

    It's when you accidently left and right click at the same time on some of the viewport controls.  To fix it hold the invisible pointer over the View Selection menu and left click. 

    Here's a video showing how the pointer disappears when you left&right click on a control, and how it comes back again when you click the Viewport Selection menu.

    Note how buttons and controls highlight when the mouse pointer is over them, this way you can locate the invisible pointer.  Windows also has a feature where you can find the mouse pointer by pressing Ctrl, you can enable it under Mouse settings.  I've used it on the video, those white rings will encircle the pointer whenever you Press Ctrl.

    I can't remember who told me this but you can restore it by pressing on one of the viewport buttons. You will know when you are hovering over it when the outline of the button and text turn orange.
