to disappear

SUMMARY
Switching between windows often causes the text cursor to disappear.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Position text cursor in a text entry area (e.g., LibreOffice Writer
document, Firefox text entry area, such as a Reddit comment box).
2. Use Tab+Shift to switch windows to another window with a text entry area.
3. Move the mouse cursor around within the new window (without necessarily
clicking anywhere).
4. Use Tab+Shift to return to the original window.
OBSERVED RESULT
The text cursor in the original window disappears, and doesn't reappear until a
keyboard key is pressed.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text cursor should remain visible.
