    Hi all,
    since the update to "Version 15.1.1 (47117)" the mouse pointer systematically disappears when switching
    from a guest to the host towards another desktop, which is very annoying.
    Clicking on a top-level menu item makes it re-appear.
    Macos Mojave there.

    It happens with linux and a windows guests.
    Am I the first to report this ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Aurélien
     
  2. Does the Parallels Tools reinstallation help? If not, could you please collect the tech report right after the issue reproduced and post the report's ID here?

    Reinstalling // tools does not help. Report id is 325867889. Thanks for caring :)
     
  4. Could you also please try to add this bootflag:
    video.hw_pointer=0
    and check

    ohh, a couple reboots later, I notice the issue is gone (I definitely am less used to reboots as a cure for random issues on the mac, maybe was wrong this time !) ... So I won't check the `hw_pointer` option, but that is interesting to know, just in case. Thanks for the help !

    I have the same issue in Parallels 15 after installing software. I'm using Mac Catalina

  8. Hi, did you try this bootflag video.hw_pointer=0 ?

    video.hw_pointer=0 did not work for me.
    "video.hw_pointer=0" WORKS! Try the quotes.
