After typing the text, selecting it, and copying it with Ctrl+C, I did
experience a similar issue.

The gedit cursor did disappear, but I think that's normal - it
disappears when you select text.

But when I copied the text, the mouse curor disappeared as well, which
was not expected. It also started flickering when I moved it. Do you
experience this movement-related flickering?

Also, do you experience these issues when long-pressing Alt on the
window? When I long-press Alt, the flickering starts as well. If I short
press it, the HUD is activated, and the flickering is not.

The flickering stops once gedit is unfocused.

I also documented the bug in this question:

pressing-alt-in-gedit.
