Summary0000071: [Hardware renderer only] Cursor vanishing on Mint 18.1
DescriptionOn startup, the cursor simply does not show. It won't show at all until the game is started. Once you've started the game, it will show up if you open the menu.

If you change the resolution, the cursor vanishes again, and won't reappear until you close and reopen the menu.

If you go into fullscreen, the cursor disappears. Next time you open the menu, it's there again, but it's misaligned. At the top of the screen, it's close, and it gets worse as it moves towards the bottom.

I think this may be relevant as well: If GZDoom locks up, it holds on to the cursor even if it's no longer in focus.
Additional InformationI'm using the Cinnamon desktop, if it's relevant. I have no idea if these are separate issues either. Less than a week on Mint, no idea what's relevant here.
TagsNo tags attached.

Needs someone with an affected system to look into.

 It might be caused by these lines. If you are building GZDoom from sources you can try to remove them to verify this guess.

 I wasn't, but I went ahead and just the instructions on the wiki to give it a shot. Unfortunately I can't tell what the change did because I got a totally unrelated error on startup:

LoadActors: Load actor definitions.
gzdoom.pk3:zscript/inventory/stateprovider.txt, line 16: Unknown native class CustomInventory
1 errors, 0 warnings while compiling gzdoom.pk3:zscript/chex/chexplayer.txt

I don't know if this should be reported as a separate bug or if I just screwed something up, and this ZScript stuff is new to me so I have no idea what's wrong anyways. Chances are being any more useful is a bit beyond me at the moment.

Nevermind, I am a deluxe idiot. I did get it to work, and commenting that bit out does solve the cursor problems.

Those lines are remnants of SDL 1.2 backend. I think we can remove them if this change will be verified on different distros, on other desktop environments in particular.

 This bug also affects me on Ubuntu 16.04, as well as Elementary OS 0.4 Loki.

Can you check my "guessing game" solution with removal of SDL_ShowCursor() call? If you can build from source of course.

Confirmed. Removing that SDL_ShowCursor() call fixes this problem.

 Mouse cursor wasn't visible even on macOS with SDL backend. Also verified the fix using GNOME on Debian.

Fixed in da4981e.
