Apparently if I select ‘ rectangular selection ‘ instead of ‘ automatic selection ‘ which is default, in the tool menu, then select the magnifier , the cursor does not appear.


Apple could not explain why this works , but seems to be a work around.


However, I have to reselect the option with each new image I view using magnifier.
