Missing Cursor 1

Hi All,
I have noticed from time to time when I'm working in the IDE after running the app to test, when it returns control to VFP the cursor disappears.
I tried things like CLOSE ALL, CLEAR ALL, CLEAR but it doesn't make the cursor come back. Is there some way to get it to reappear without closing VFP and starting it again?

This happens when normal control, and not some kind of crash or anything, I am not sure why it vanishes.

Best Regards,

Hi Olaf,
Yeah, it's not an issue of the cursor being out of view, it just is not at all visible.
If I click at the end of a line in the command window, I can't see where the cursor is (and this is part of the issue, because I want to execute an existing line, or maybe put my cursor into the line to make some modification, but I can't tell where it's landing).
The only "fix" I've found for it so far is to click anywhere outside VFP. Even directly onto the Windows Desktop and back in to the command window makes the cursor reappear.
It's like if VFP "loses focus", and then get's it back, the cursor is reinstated. Weird.
