Plasma (?) seems to have decided to have the mouse pointer (or Ibar)
disapper when it rests inside a Konsole window for a few seconds. It
used to be that it would reappear if you moved the mouse. Now on my
system, it does not reappear. It reappears when I move it (blindly)
outside the window, but immediately disappers when I move back into the
Konsole window. It will reappear if I left click when it is inside the
window, but that is very annoying as it may execute someting (at the
least move the cursor to) that is underneath the invisible pointer.

This is on an XPS13 9310 (2021 version) Dell computer. It has the latest
kernel. I am still afraid to completely update, as before I reinstalled,
this system had very badly functional screen. Ie it seems that Mageia
plays very badly with the 9310.
