V62 - updated app - Mouse cursor not visible inside the PC APP Desktop

When I access my PC, via link cable and the Meta PC APP (formally the Oculus PC APP) the mouse cursor become invisible when I 'look' at the monitor using the monitor icon on the task ribbon of the Apps desktop.
 
If I grab one of the Quest Controllers, the mouse cursor is visible again, until the controller times out, and then it's gone again.
 
I can still see the mouse moving, with tooltips and what not appearing as I move it around the screen, it's just the Mouse Cursor that's disappeared, not the actual functionality.
 
EDIT - this never happened before the V62 update with the new META PC app (which by the way also doesn't give me access to 120Hz).
 
Once I move away from the Meta Desktop, and enter a game, like iRacing for example, then the mouse cursor once more becomes visible. So, this problem is only a problem, in the Meta Desktop.

While that's good to know that your Mouse is still working while viewing your PC in Quest Link, we'd rather it not hide from you! While each new system version update is intended to improve functionality, it sometimes happens that things like this result unexpectedly. It's super important for our engineers to get feedback on these occurrences, so we encourage you to use the Bug Report/Report a Problem function within your headset, to describe the issue you're experiencing. 

 

In the meantime, it's also worth uninstalling and reinstalling the PC App, as this can sometimes not update automatically as it should. Let us know if this helps, or if you have any issues submitting that feedback!

Yes, I used the headset as instructed to submit a bug report. Should be in your database now.

I have now uninstalled and reinstalled the oculus app for PC software, and this does seem to have solved the issue. I will post again here if it returns.
