This is an another old problem that was resolved once but has re-appeared.  About half the time I enter edit mode in the grid, the cursor disappears.

Hi Wayne,
 
I did change some things to fix focus issues with the HTML pane, so can you provide detailed steps or a video. I 'll try to reproduce it
 
Thanks !

Same for me here, used to be a constant issue, haven't experienced it in a long time, and then it popped up again after one of the recent updates, happens all the time, just hadn't reported it yet.  As you requested:

Thanks for the video. In the past, I recall it was partly font related. Can you report the Tools > Options > General > Grid > Font setting ? Does it happen on all grids ?

Font settings attached.  I don't know if it occurs in all grids, my best guess is yes.  Since it started happening again I've been experiencing it a lot.

I can reproduce the issue when I set the font to Arial Unicode MS (size 9 and 9.75) which was found to the problem in this thread: Missing cursor when editing items
 
I cannot reproduce it for Arial. Can you check the Grid specific font, perhaps it is set to Arial Unicode MS...

I have no grid specific font settings.

My default font is Arial 11.  A few of my grids have Arial 9 or 12.  Haven't found any pattern to when the problem occurs but it definitely occurs with Arial font (just confirmed again).

Last question. Can you reproduce the issue when the HTML pane is closed or hidden ?

I just tested it for a couple of minutes and unless it was coincidence, it does seem related to the HTML pane.  With the HTML pane closed, I was not able to get it to happen.  With it open, with a little clicking I was able to get it to happen every time.

   html pane mind own business

LOL
 
Actually, the solution in v90 isn't that far away from what you're proposing...
 
When editing in the grid, the HTML pane will quietly wait and do NOTHING !
