  Sometimes the cursor (not the mouse cursor) is a rectangular unfilled
  box on the screen making it hard to find.  If I move the mouse to the
  edge and touch the edge, the cursor fills and is easy to find.

The cursor becomes unfilled when the focus is lost.  This could be a bug or
feature of your window manager.  To find out, try typing something in the
window while the cursor is unfilled, and see if your keystrokes affect that
window.  If so, you've got the focus, but the cursor didn't change, so it's
an epoch bug.  If not, you never got the focus, so it's a window manager
bug.

I haven't ever seen this behavior myself.
