In all of these circumstances, the cursor can be made visible again either (a) by moving the mouse pointer off the frame (not just the window) in question to another (not necessarily Emacs) frame on the desktop: then the cursor is visible in outline -- moving the mouse pointer back to the window containing the cursor in question then makes it fully visible; or (b) by moving the mouse pointer over another active field in the same window and waiting until a tooltip pops up.
