I have a very frustrating selection bug in R6. After working in a file for awhile a bug appears when:
Can you paste the system info from the Rhino 6 Help menu back in reply here? My guess is that it might be an old display driver.
It happens to me when there is an object behind the one I’m selecting.

Hello - in the clip I see the cursor disappear for a split second in the first bit (wireframe) - and that’s it. Am I reading that right?
-Pascal
Yes. Some more:

Hello - I’d first update both the Intel and the nVidia driver and then see what’s what.
-Pascal
Updated all and have the exact same issue after ten minutes in the file.
Phil
Hi Phil - The developer asks:
do you have a 3dConnexion device or any non-mouse hooked up as an input? If so does it make any difference if you unplug this and restart Rhino?
-Pascal
I have a 3DC on a desktop and this does not make a difference. I have a laptop without a 3DC.
Hi Phil - OK, thanks for checking. I do not have a good idea, I’ll have to bring in bigger brains.
@stevebaer - do you know what might cause this or know whom to bug? Best shown here in this clip from Phil: https://global.discourse-cdn.com/mcneel/uploads/default/original/3X/2/8/28ada5172d9aaddddbea5a911562e6071ed2a651.zip
Sometimes the mouse pointer just does not draw, but it is still active. I guess the 3dconnexion device being connected or not does not make a difference. That’s what I thought would be the culprit.
-Pascal
I guess I would try disabling some plug-ins and restart to see if the problem goes away. Maybe start with 3Dconnexion. If that doesn’t make a difference, then maybe @JohnM has an idea. This doesn’t sound like a driver issue.
If it helps with the debugging, I typically experience this with large files of +250MB after about ten minutes working with the file on machines with and without 3D Connexion devices. Phil
Hi - did you ever try to see if this persists if you run Rhino in Safe Mode?
I’ve been working in safe mode for 15-20 min with my large file and it appears the disappearing cursor issue goes away. Though modeling is a chore with the lack of features or shading.
Yes, it’s not meant to be a working mode. At least this tells us there is a problem with a plug-in.
Have you tried disabling the 3Dconnexion plug-in as @stevebaer recommended?
It appears it is the 3Dconnexion plug-in…but I love my 3Dconnexion…
the issue just reappeared with the 3Dconnexion plug-in disabled….
A big hint on this bug is that it appears instantly after the selection of a saved construction plane and will stay in effect until the file is closed and rhino is restarted.
