flaky mouse pointer behaviour
Hi.
Weird problem here. It seems that, when I'm browsing forums like this one, sometimes my mouse pointer disappears when I move up to the address bar and around there. If I click somewhere, the pointer returns, but can disappear without warning. I thought that there might be a problem with my Apple mouse (wired), but then the pointer wouldn't be there at all. It's there, but it just doesn't show. Am I making any sense?
My Apple mouse is connected directly to my G4 mini. Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I reset safari, but that didn't do anything. I thought that the 10.4.6 update would fix it but it didn't. I checked another user account on this computer and the same problem applies. It has also occured once, where the pointer disappeared on the desktop (outside of safari), but I haven't been able to replicate that. Thanks

I just moved the mouse and it came back. When I started typing this paragraph it disappeared again. Seems like a normal operation...I guess to eliminate some screen clutter.
Thanks, though. Anyone else have any idea?
Oddly enough it doesn't happen anymore.
Is there a preferences file I can trash?
I always wish that trashing something like a prefs file will solve all problems.
