Canary 133.0.3061.0 unstable(mouse pointer vanish, send feedback hard crash)
Mouse pointer frequently disappears from windows(multiple sites). Clicking Help & Feedback->Send Feedback crashes browser and generates two errors in edge://crashes. Since I can't submit feedback, reporting it here.

I'm experiencing this issue after updating Edge stable to version 133.0.3065.51. It happens mostly on Twitch. If I watch Twitch in theatre mode and hover the mouse on the Edge icon on the taskbar and slowly (not too slow) move the pointer up towards the Twitch video area, the mouse pointer disappears for the entire browser, doesn't happen all the time though. The only way to get back the pointer is to go down towards the empty area of the taskbar and then go up. Keep the browser in maximized mode to reproduce the issue. I've tested this on two machines and the mouse pointer is disappearing on both of them. I've also tested this with Google Chrome stable version 133.0.6943.60 and it doesn't have this bug. So, it is only related to Microsoft Edge. So, hoping Microsoft fixes this bug soon, or I'll have to switch to another browser for the time being.
PS: I couldn't find any other thread or forum discussion about this issue other than this post. - tistouBronze Contributor
For yet another feedback (not sure if it's useful with all the feedback already sent)
Bug with the mouse that disappears for example, after a while (edge open since 10, 15 min) - tistouBronze Contributor
There is no one from Microsoft staff to do tests, tell us what tests to do, debugs to do, etc... ???
Instead of leaving this bug present indefinitely...- Kelly_Y
Microsoft
This might be related to this Chromium bug: Mouse cursor in Chrome disappears when Windows wakes up from sleep/hibernation/auto-lock [391914239] - Chromium
We are working to update Microsoft Edge with the fix. Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback, it's nice
Indeed, same problem as on the person, the problem appears after 10, 15 min of inactivity
The problems I haveCursor disappears on menus, contextual windows, Favorites list, etc...
On URL links, it is no longer the hand but the pointer (arrow)Thanks so much

Currently using v134.0.3097.0. I get the mouse pointer disappearing very randomly now. I only posted on here because that version of Canary had "Send feedback" broken, so couldn't make recordings.
The last few versions of Canary are horrible to try and use due to the auto-fill pop ups creating HUGE delays in trying to type. As in, I finish typing my name and wait 10+ seconds before my tab keypress moves to the next field. Then when submitting forms, all tabs are frozen and get a Windows 98 style title bar while waiting for it to finish posting and random error messages in edge://crashes(without Edge actually closing, has happened 3 times so far this morning).
Current Canary needs to not move up the build chains. I've been sending in feedback as symptoms get better/worse. I suggest everyone else do the same to give them as wide ranging data as possible to help them track down and fix the issues they've created.

Ok, using same version
I have this mouse cursor problem when Canary has been open for more than 10, 15 minutes and it's really annoying (especially on an online game)
On my laptop, I have to disable hardware acceleration otherwise the web pages flash, but as one bug does not come without another, by disabling this option, the menus (right click, etc.) are emptyMore bugs in Canary than anything else, feedback sent but nothing is done and this kind of bug will end up in the stable version at one point or another

Several feedbacks sent by different people, but nothing new
I think I'll go back to the stable version and stop testing, in the meantime, too much problem with Canary - tistouBronze Contributor
Me (and others) have sent feedback
For us, the problem appears if Canary is open for more than about 15 min and it is very annoying, when the cursor disappears or there is no longer the hand on the links (but the small arrow instead), etc... - tistouBronze Contributor
Mouse pointer problem still present
We don't even know if Edge staff is taking care of it- NXTwoThouIron Contributor
The ability to report feedback was fixed with the next build for me. The mouse pointer vanishing was about two builds after I could send in proper feedback/recordings. If you are still having issues with the latest build, I suggest using the feedback tool. If you can't use Help & Feedback->Send Feedback, you might want to use the windows feedback hub to do a deeper recording.

Same here and I'm glad I'm not the only one with the mouse problem
