Half way through using menu mouse disappears

I’m using a menu widget for the beginning of my game.

However now and then the mouse will just disappear and it will say shift+1 for mouse cursor in the top right-hand corner.

Any idea what I would be doing wrong how this might occur?

Go to your controller class that you are using and check the box that says “show mouse cursor”. This will give you a permanent cursor.
