      Whenever I'm typing in a google document, my cursor disappears. I know it isn't a google docs issue because I've logged in on my other browser and the cursor shows up fine. I also know it isn't my computer settings because I've changed them to show the pointer when I'm typing. It also does it when I'm hovering over any sort of text box or when I'm typing in any text box.
      Thank you in advance!

        Hey there, not an expert by any means, but I was having the same issue and I went to my windows setting (windows 11) and changed the colour of my cursor. Because the although I couldn't see the cursor while typing on Google Docs when something was highlighted, I could see the white "I" over the highlighted text. This just led me to assume that the cursor was just blending into the white page background, which was why I changed the colour of my mouse to pink and voila! problem solved. My cursor has a black border around it now in the Google Docs, which prevents it from disappearing. Hopefully this helps.
