If you had read the readme or the ingame arena message, you would know this is not a bug...

I doubt the OP would look to see whats up so here:

NOTE:  The mouse cursor will only appear and function when the clipboard is active or when the radio bar is open.

Just to make it easy for you to read.

sorry about that. Just read it. I'll make it a point to read them from now on.

Actually I requested hiding the mouse many moons ago. My search doesn't work so I can't prove it.

Don't worry about it lab rat.  Watch 200 for a while, and you will see a gajillion (ya that's a word) people asking the same questions they wouldn't have had to ask if they RTFM. 

Happy it's not a bug.  That's one thing less to worry about..

So far, the vanishing cursor is the only thing I dislike about this new version.  But I will get over it.

Perhaps because now people can't use the cursor to point at the middle of the gunsight so they can contort their views all over the place and still know exactly where they are firing?

Hey! being so accurate offends people.

Besides using it as a gun site I can see no other reason why it is a problem.

Or maybe because I don't want to wait for the clipboard to come fully up when I'm desperately trying to grab those supplies. Or trying to click on any pop-up window (film, squad invite, "you can't fly because of (eny, ords, whatever)"...
