This behavior is typical for any dialogs with the combobox element.
Execute using the keyboard.
1) Open the "New folder" dialog by pressing F7.
2) Do not move the mouse. Enter any text. The mouse cursor will hide.
3) Press Atl+ArrowDown keys to display the list of combobox items.
4) With the list open, start moving the mouse. The mouse cursor will be hidden. I have a second monitor connected. When you move the cursor over its area, the cursor is displayed. If you return to the first monitor again, the cursor is hidden.
Same problem for "Command line".
Execute using the keyboard.
1) Do not move the mouse. Start typing one character at a time. The mouse cursor will hide on the third character. The text must be at least 3 characters long.
2) Press Ctrl+ArrowDown keys to display the list of combobox items.
3) With the list open, start moving the mouse. The mouse cursor will be hidden.

TC 10.50 - Hides mouse cursor for combobox

Re: TC 10.50 - Hides mouse cursor for combobox
Confirmed, but you should press Alt+down very quickly, as the system displays the cursor again in less than one second. But if the combo box was opened with the cursor still hidden, it will remain hidden until a mouse click.
We are not so S.M.A.R.T. as we imagine...

Re: TC 10.50 - Hides mouse cursor for combobox
This seems to be a Windows bug, I get the same for example in the "File open" dialog in notepad.exe. Total Commander does not hide the cursor, it seems to be the Windows combobox control doing it.
