Hi,

(Maybe I'm missing something, but I fail to see what)

I've read this paragraph in (info "(emacs) Display Custom"):

     If the mouse pointer lies inside an Emacs frame, Emacs makes it
  invisible each time you type a character to insert text, to prevent it
  from obscuring the text.  (To be precise, the hiding occurs when you
  type a "self-inserting" character.  *Note Inserting Text::.)  Moving
  the mouse pointer makes it visible again.  To disable this feature, set
  the variable `make-pointer-invisible' to `nil'.

When I try to test that feature, the mouse pointer never hides.  It
only changes between the arrow (when the pointer is over an empty
area) and the "I-beam" (when the pointer is over some text).

I've tested this with Emacs -Q, with the current trunk, with the
current emacs-24 branch, and with the 24.2, 24.1 and 23.4 releases.
In all cases the behavior is the same (mouse pointer remains visible
after typing text).
