[Bug 1376494] Re: gedit hides mouse pointer when there is selected text

 

I have installed "ibus-gtk"
sudo apt-get install ibus-gtk

But the problem is still there. For example, if you copy and paste
something till you don't save or change the window focus, the mouse
pointer flickers.

Ubuntu 14.10
3.16.0-28-generic x86_64
