Description:
When you edit a table with no indexes on it and try to setup a unique column index, the mouse cursor disappears until the details are entered

How to repeat:
1. Double click table to edit
2. Click "Indexes" tab
3. Click on a new line to create a new index name

As soon as you start typing, the mouse cursor goes away until you press enter to move to the drop down list of index types and select one.  Then it comes back

Suggested fix:
Mouse cursor should always be visible, so you can use it to select from the drop down list or click away from the text field like you can in every other editable field.

Thank you for a bug report.

this applies to the index and FK listviews.
as soon as text is entered in the textbox (1st column) the cursor is hidden. in this state, the cursor is revealed as soon as you move the mouse - BUT when you move to the Dropdownfield via <TAB> while the cursor is hidden the cursor stays hidden until the drop-down-editor is closed again (even mous-movement doesn't reveal the cursor as long as the focus is inside the dropdown-editor.

note that this problem does not occur in the listview on columns-tab.

What I found is that the cursor is hidden by the text control when you start editing.
When the focus leaves the text control or the mouse is moved, the cursor is shown again.
But it seems that if the focus leaves the text control and goes straight to a combobox that
has no textbox (dropdown only), the cursor stays hidden and there's no way to bring it back
unless you dismiss the dropdown.

Sounds like a bug in the treeview control.

Fixed in rev 2888

works now in SVN Rev 2888

A note has been added to the 5.0.17 changelog: 

Setting up indexes in both the index and foreign key list views, the mouse pointer would dissappear while the entry box was in use
