The only way I can get it back is to "right click" somewhere in the editor which is a guessing game because I can not see the mouse pointer. I have had this happen on both a stock 2012 MacBook Pro and a 2009 Mac Pro (With AMD 7950 Video Card). OS X is 10.8.5 fully updated on both systems. Has anyone else seen this behavior.

Lots of people have[1]. There’s a suggestion that it’s a Qt bug fixed in recent versions of Qt 5.

I’ve seen it in 2.8 (and older versions) on OS X. I’ve not noticed it in 3.0.0, built with Qt 5.2.0.

There is a bug open for the same behaviour in 3.0[2] from someone who didn’t see it in 2.8 - but I don’t know what version of Qt that was built with, so don’t know if it’s a sign that one of the underlying issues is still there.

I’d definitely give 3.0 a try, though. I’m using it on OS X and it’s more stable than 2.8.* was (I’ve noticed a very occasional issue with hitting delete when text is selected, but that’s about it).

Cheers,
  Steve
