Cursor / Mouse disappearing on MacBook Air

Cursor readily slips off my screen while I'm working and then requires a lot of fiddling to get it to show up again. Often it'll require moving the mouse off its pad to bring it the cursor back into view. This behavior seems new since update Ventura 13.3.1 (a) though how that would be related I can't know. Suggestions? Tks in advance.

macOS V14.0 Sonoma cursor keep disappearing So basically, I just updated my MacBook Pro to macOS Sonoma earlier this day, and ever since I updated it to this version, my cursor just disappeared! Not like entirely, but appears only if I: put my cursor on the Dock, open mission control, or opening app exposé. And it's been really annoying just swiping up and down just to see where my cursor is, and I would like to ask if anyone have a solution to this problem, or if anyone else have the same problem. I went onto Reddit before posting here, and a lot of people seems to been having the same problem as mine. So I would like to ask if anyone have a solution to this problem?

Mouse/trackpad glitch My mouse glitches at random times while i'm using my macbook air. I'm not sure if it's the mouse of trackpad or both, but suddenly when i swipe to change screens it would not do it, or when i hover over an button for example and try to click on it, it would not click/show drop down options. Seems like a bug after updating my macOS but not sure what can help Macbook Air, M2 2022, 8GB macOS: Sonoma 14.0

THIN WHITE AREA appears when moving cursor to edges of screen Currently running macOS Ventura 13.4 on a 2021 M1 iMac. Thin white area appears when placing my cursor on the left-most or right-most side of the screen. And no, I'm not talking about the note pop-up at the bottom right of the screen. It's more towards the middle of the left and right. How do you turn this off? And what's the point of this? During a game, my cursor gets completely stuck on one side of the screen and I have to shake my mouse to release it from the edge. And sometimes the cursor completely disappears. Thank you :)

I think it may be because I am using my iPad as a second monitor, and/or I've got Hot Corners enabled. The latter annoy me anyway, so I've disabled that feature. Main issues was that somehow the arrangement of my monitors got reversed, so will have to watch that I don't let that happen.

Tested, and yep, that fixed it.
