Comment 1 for bug 1476400

Did you give my middle mouse button patch a try? There is a bug in the
cursor hide/show code when middle mouse button panning. It's easy to
reproduce. Use the middle mouse button to pan until the mouse cursor
leaves the drawing area then let go of the mouse button. The cross hair
will no longer be drawn until you close the window and reopen it. My
patch seems to fix the issue and should in fact fix any other cursor
movement code that cause this issue.
