Cursor disappears after a short time when using the Spot Removal tool.

I have the same problem.

the mouse cursor (the cross and the large circle) disappears as soon as I modify a parameter and come back to the photo. when I restart Lightroom it returns but disappears systematically.

I try turning off the GPU option but it's always the same.

This problem appears mostly on the secondary monitor.

I have been having a similar problem for the last few years with the spot remove brush cursor disappearing. I'm on a Mac Studio with Sequoia 15.3.2. using multiple monitors, but only 1 for LRC. After say 10 trips to the Spot Remove Brush (Q), the round spot cursor will disappear and the regular pointer arrow will be there, or no cursor at all. My solution, after much trial and error,  is to switch to the grid module, choose a different image, then go back to the original image and press Q. It is maddening because it happens perhaps 4-5 times an hour if I am retouching a batch of images in LRC. This has been going on at least since 2022 and I've always had the most current LRC and OSX versions. It's hard to document because it is so erratic.

This thread is from 2020 (LrC 9.x) and doesn't even provide a clue as to the source of the issue let alone a solution. Therefore, I recommend that you start a new thread. This thread should provide a description of the issue along with details of the mouse/pen device that you're using.
