The VideoLAN Forums

There are moments were the mouse cursor disappears (in random times) when showing the context menu in a video whether it is in fullscreen mode or in a window.
Using the latest (3.0.17.4), but it has been doing this on earlier versions too.

Is there a way to avoid it?

The only way to avoid it is not to put the mouse cursor out of the context menu.
And if you do it, the trick is to bring the cursor back into the context menu then it won't vanish again if you go out.
