Question

When using the Object mask in Lightroom (Desktop) version9.4.1 the cursor disappears when entering the image.

    Objects under the hidden cursor can still be selected but it is not possible to know where the cursor is located inside the image.  I am using a Silicon Mac (M2 Ultra) on MacOS v26.5.1

    Hi ​@Cletus, Welcome to the Lightroom Community forum! Let’s try turning off your GPU Acceleration and see if that helps.

    1. Go to Settings/Preferences → Performance
    2. Turn off Graphics Acceleration / Use GPU
    3. Restart Lightroom

    If this resolves it, the permanent fix is to update the GPU driver (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel — download from the manufacturer's website, not just Windows Update) and then re-enable GPU.

    If you are still experiencing this, please send your system info, a screen recording of the issue, and a numbered list of the exact steps needed to replicate it. You can find your system info by going to Help > System Info, copying and pasting it into a text file, and attaching it here. Thanks! ^CH
