@Jan Corazza, you are right, if I long-press Alt, the same issue occurs.
However, I do not see a flickering in my gedit window, but that may be a side-effect that is visible, or not visible, depending on the user's hardware and monitor.

** Description changed:

  Open gedit.
  Notice the cursor is blinking.
  Type a few lines of text.
  Highilight some of the text.
  Press <CTRL><c> to cut the text.
- Notice that the mouse cursos is invisible while hovering over the gedit window.
- Notice that the gedit cursor is no longer blinking.
+ Notice that the mouse pinter is invisible while hovering over the gedit window. Notice that the gedit cursor is no longer blinking.
