How to trigger the bug:

1. Open gedit.
2. Click inside the editing area.
3. Press CTRL.
4. Move the cursor inside the editing area. In this case, the cursor is gone, or sometimes blinks for a fraction of a second. If you move the cursor outside of the editing area, it will be okay again. Moving it back will make it buggy again.

Workaround: open one the menus (like File), and the cursor will behave
as expected.

Title:
  Cursor disapears after CTRL+C

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using gedit on the 32 or 64 bit version of Ubuntu 14.10 pressing
  CTRL+C to copy text will cause the mouse cursor to disapear until
  gedit is restarted or the document is saved. Copying and pasting using
  right click does not cause the issue. I've experienced this issue on
  multiple computers with vastly different hardware. One computer is
  using proprietary nVidia drivers and the others are not.

  1)lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.10
  Release:	14.10

  2)apt-cache policy gedit
  gedit:
    Installed: 3.10.4-0ubuntu6
    Candidate: 3.10.4-0ubuntu6
    Version table:
