High Sierra 10.13.4 hides mouse cursor (external monitor)

Just upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.4 which hides the mouse cursor, when iTerm is on an external monitor and the resolution is greater than 1080p. It is a 4k monitor attached via HDMI.

I've seen a similar behavior with vscode and their issue might be of interest: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/47076

I do use the Solarized Dark theme. I tried others (especially light ones) but they didn't show the cursor either.

  • iTerm2 version: 3.1.5
  • OS version: High Sierra 10.13.4
  • Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here (drag-drop from finder into this window)

com.googlecode.iterm2.plist

PS. A workaround is to hold down Cmd to see the cursor ;)
