×To resolve this cursor visible issue, please open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and use the following command.
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false
After executing the above command please check whether the cursor issue resolved. If still this issue persist, go to “settings - displays - disable unknown display”.
Hello @Felicia714 I followed your steps, and they didnt work. For “settings - displays - disable unknown display” there is a ‘display’ opting under settings.
Hello, @noufelriz
If the steps provided from @Felicia714 does not fix your issue you can try the following as well:
Navigate to File -> Preferences -> Setting -> Features -> Terminal -> Inherit Env

Hello, @noufelriz
What I can recommend you if you have any pending updates for t Visual Code (basically make sure you run the latest available version). Also looking at the issue a lot of people complained about similar issues and they were able to solve them with re-installing the Visual Code application.
Hope this helps!
