    Description

      Sometimes Qt Creator starts losing the mouse when I move it inside the real code editor. The cursor is visible and works normally in all other parts of the application (project tree, menu, various tabs), but as soon as it's moved inside the code editor it disappears. The mouse continues to function though, so for instance selecting something works ok, it's just hard to do.

      The best cure is to restart Creator, but usually it's also enough to just switch "virtual desktops" (Spaces) and come back to Creator, then the mouse usually works for a while again. But as a rule of thumb, when it's started to lose the mouse, restarting comes next.

      No other application does this, and I have not seen any other Qt application do it either (don't have that many though). I've seen this same thing happen since I got my Mac in August 2010 with about 10 different binary snapshots, so it's no new bug.
