Bug: Unable to see cursor on HDMI monitor when Enable cursor is selected

[TKConrad]

Describe the bug
The cursor is not shown on an HDMI-connected monitor after upgrading to the latest Zynthian build "2024-01-16-zynthianos-stable-2401.zip". The system still responds to mouse clicks and the position of the cursor, but the cursor itself is not shown on the screen. This makes it nearly impossible to accurately select options using the mouse. There does not appear to be a keyboard equivalent for moving around the different options on a window other than up and down in a selection list.

To Reproduce

1. Boot Zynthian
2. In web configuration, go to Interface... UI Options
3. Select "Enable cursor" (if not already selected)
4. Save
5. Reboot Zynthian

Expected behavior
The cursor is displayed.

Actual behavior
The cursor is not displayed, although the mouse still interacts with the system.

Additional context
I have reproduced this consistently ever since upgrading to stable-2401 from https://os.zynthian.org/2024-01-16-zynthianos-stable-2401.zip. The cursor is not shown after doing a fresh image onto the SD card without any config restores.

Confirmed with No mouse connected and with a mouse connected, during session and from power up.

Start up produced no cursor.

Powered off machine with mouse connected...

Restarted, No Cursor.

Same issue here: cursor not visible on new install with updated software. Running standalone on a Pi 4, so a cursor would be really helpful!

Thanks @wyleu, I downloaded the update and rebooted my Raspberry Pi and confirmed that it works! Much appreciated!
