Title:
  gedit hides mouse pointer when there is selected text

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this bug applies to other apps, but I could only make it happen in gedit.
  To reproduce in 14.10beta2:
  1. open gedit
  2. type some text
  3. select some text with keyboard (i.e. shift + arrow keys)
  4. move the mouse pointer above gedit window

  Result: the pointer is flickering or disappearing completely
