Cursor disappearing

Question

The cursor in the Target column constantly disappears and I never know where it is! I just have to guess and start typing to see where it is! How do I fix that? This problem started when I upgrade from Studio 2015 to 2021.

Hello Ingrid Turmel , 
 Is the mouse a Bluetooth or wired mouse? 
 Its worth trying first with a different mouse and/or a different USB port. If its Bluetooth, then disconnect and reset. 
 Also if you have a Touchpad- try disabling this to see if this helps.

 I discussed this with the development team and they have noted that sometimes the term view steals the focus and this may be what's making the cursor disappear, similarly for the translation preview. The logs we received from Juraj yesterday show that terminology was in use. Can you all confirm whether the issue reproduces if you don't use terminology or the preview? So close these windows and don't use them for a bit. This behaviour is definitely inconsistent and we have not been able to reproduce it ourselves which makes it quite hard to figure out what is deactivating the cursor. 
 Thanks for your help. 
 fyi.

Hi. I've encountered a similar issue working on Trados Studio 2021. After pressing Ctrl + Enter, the cursor disappears and I have to right click every time in order to continue writing. I think it has to do with the preview because there's a message on the lower bar of the program that reads "generating the preview." I've tried closing the preview window but the problem persists. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks. Javier.
