Comment 4 for bug 616858

The mousehide option is not new. I still believe that this is a new bug... At the very least a change in behaviour that doesn't seem right to me. I've been using gvim since Hardy, Always setting the mousehide in my .gvimrc file, and have never had a problem until I installed 10.04.

I removed the mousehide option from my .gvimrc file to see if this alleviated the problem. It didn't. So, I'm guessing that if its not specified 'set mousehide' is the default behavior. If I explicitly put the 'set nomousehide' option in, it seemed to be ok, and I haven't seen any issues, yet.

I also noticed with my original setup (setting mousehide), that if I manually issue 'set nomousehide' in the gui, and through my normal "tricks" get the cursor to reappear, it will persist.

Not that this is a show stopper, but it would be nice to use the features that gvim provides to get the pointer out of the way while typing.
