Invisible Cursor

When using a dark colour scheme in Komodo IDE 5.1.3 or 5.1.4 on Mac OS X, you cannot see the mouse when it is over the editing window. It is there but as black-on-black. Note I am not talking about the caret for editing, but the mouse pointer. This happens with the out of the box Dark theme. Is this a bug or is there a setting I am missing to fix the colour.

Thanks

Komodo does not change the color of the mouse cursor at all (I'm not even sure if it could do this).

Unfortunately this is a limitation of having a black background.

Third party applications may help with this regard, such as:
