I’ve seen some in the Cubase crowd complaining about this but haven’t seen a Nuendo thread, and this occurs constantly for me - sometimes every few minutes.
Basically the white lines surrounding the playhead disappear and then you’re left with just the very thin black line (I work on a very dark background so it’s basically invisible without the white lines). To get the cursor back is easy enough, just hit Win+d twice to drop the window and bring it back up., but it is a bit irritating to keep having to do this every few minutes for the whole day! Also looks a bit rubbish in front of clients (“why do you keep minimising the window and bringing it back up?” “Oh because I can’t see where the playhead is” “You seem to do it every few minutes” “…yep” “it’s quite annoying” “…sorry!”)
I’ve been trying to spot reproducible steps to make this happen consistently but it really does appear to be random. Does anyone else get this problem?
Have it too. I think (not 100% sure) i once saw the cursor alone on my second monitor, without Nuendo in the background. If this is true it would be a separate (undecorated) window which might explain the problem…
For me it disappears in the bottom “edit view” area while still being visible in the main timeline.
@st10ss I did some systematic bughunting. Here is a way to reproduce it:
What works fine: Set the cursor somewhere in your project so that you can see it. Minimize the project window, then restore the view. The cursor is there, just as it should be.
What doesnt work: Do the same thing, but hit play before minimizing the window. Now hit stop before restoring the window. The cursors of the main project timeline (and the lower edit zone if opened) are missing. As soon as you move the cursor in one of the the timelines, the cursor is visible again in that timeline.

Another thing i could track down is that the drawing of the cursor is definitly “done in a different way”.
Additional Bug 1: Resizing the window vertically at a medium speed resizes everything fluidly, but the cursor redraw is significantly delayed. Additional Bug 2: The minimize/restore window-animations of windows also dont apply to the cursor in the same way, its movement in the animation is different from the rest of the window - once you notice it, it is really annoying - well, at least to me
I can also provide videos of all these behaviours if that is of any use for bugfixing.
