As you hover certain areas (menus) mouse disappears as making the edition impossible. It happens also in other sites… You need to change (via Cmd-Tab) to another application and return to have the mouse in front again.

I couldn't reproduce this yet. Are you seeing this with Safari/WebKit 5.1, or only in nightlies? Could you please provide detailed steps to reproduce (i.e., where exactly I need to hover to see the problem)?

You only need to enter in the free edition, wait until the "interface" loads, and move your mouse over the left menu of "cathegories". Your mouse disappears (as it seems to be expected) but when you leave this area, the mouse keeps disappeared. And you need to close the window or change the browser via Cmd-Tab

I can reproduce; you have to actually launch the application (http://www.gliffy.com/gliffy/#) and try to mouseover the menu on the left (make your browser window wide enough that it appears).

Thanks, so steps to reproduce are: 1. Open http://www.gliffy.com/ 2. Click TRY IT NOW! button. 3. Hide Safari address bar and bookmarks bar (not strictly necessary, but makes reproducing easier). 4. Move the mouse around, in particular between Categories and Templates panes. 5. Once the cursor disappears, move it up to menu bar - it doesn't re-appear. I can reproduce this in Safari 5.1 on Lion, but only in WebKit2 mode, not in WebKit1. There are two aspects to the problem. First of all, the mouse cursor should not disappear at all on this site (and it doesn't in single process mode). Secondly, WK1 used to have code to guarantee that cursor is always visible outside of Safari window, even if a misbehaved Flash application told us to hide it.

Mass closing plug-in bugs, as plug-in support has been removed from WebKit. Please comment and/or reopen if this still affects WebKit in some way.
