That's a long-standing problem for me, too. Many Mac programs make the mouse pointer disappear once one starts to type - it reappears as soon as the mouse moves a bit. When I did some Windows work a few years ago, I *learned* to throw the mouse so I could see what I was typing. Continuing that in Squeak causes much typing going nowhere. I think I will experiment with hiding the cursor so I can *unlearn* the venerable mouse throw.
