The Amazing Vanishing Cursor!

Those of you who often run multiple physical displays on your Mac, have you encountered this?

Every so often, as I'm working on something on the secondary display, some operation causes my cursor to disappear. It's usually some well-defined interruption, like using quick-look, or clicking a notification, or a pop-up window appearing, or something like that. I don't know why the cursor would disappear for any of those things, just sometimes it does.

I can move around on the trackpad, and see things in the screen wink and change as the invisible cursor moves over them hovering, but no actual cursor.

I can shuttle my finger back and forth quickly, the "shake to find cursor" gesture that Apple introduced in El Capitan — the oversized cursor(s) will appear and do all the right things, but the moment it shrinks back down to normal size, it disappears again.

The only way I have found to get the cursor visible again is to move it onto the primary screen, then back onto the secondary screen. Then it's fine until the next time it disappears.

Am I the only guy seeing this behavior?
