Bug Description
I'm not sure if this bug applies to other apps, but I could only make it happen in gedit.
To reproduce in 14.10beta2:
1. open gedit
2. type some text
3. select some text with keyboard (i.e. shift + arrow keys)
4. move the mouse pointer above gedit window
Result: the pointer is flickering or disappearing completely

This bug affects me too. When text is selected and i cut it using ctrl+x the cursor starts flickering and the cpu fan ramps up (i guess due to some hide/unhide cursor loop). Only way to solve it is to restart gedit.
