Same thing on OSX (10.11, synergy version 1.8.4-stable) as a server, and Fedora 24 as a client

Bug is still there. Just encountered it myself. Both Synergy versions were just downloaded from the nightlies.
Server: osx 10.11.4
Client: ubuntu 16.10

Still around on 1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2

Ubuntu 16.04

Still here in
1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2
on Ubuntu 17.04

The cursor disappears on the client side literally every other time it goes from the server to the client.

Workaround: install compiz config settings manager on the client and disable effects/animations

I take that back. Somehow it started working and I thought it was because of the effects/animations have been disabled, but now the cursor disappears again and no tweaks to effects/animations settings make any difference.

I've got same issue and client's behavior is quite erratic. cursor disappearance, cursor is bounded at certain window

version: 2.0.0
server: osx 10.11.6
client: ubuntu 17.10 desktop

No cursor or erratic behavior. Can right-click and see context menu on client, keyboard works.

version: 2.0.9
server: Ubuntu 17.10 (hidpi screen)
client: High Sierra 10.13.4

Total blocker.
