    I never had this problem before the update... Anyone know how to fix this?

    Could you please send us a screenshot? It will really help.

    Try changing the shape of the cursor. On Windows it's the "Tab" key, on Mac... IDK. Look at the readme.

      I tried screenshotting it, but it does not show the white box. WHAT IS HAPPENING?? 

    I will try to take a picture with my phone. The picture may hurt your eyes...

    That looks incredibly annoying. What version of mac do you have? Did it only start after upgrading?

    Can you try the snapshots? https://starcatcher.us/TPT/
    There are some large changes in there that could potentially affect this and maybe fix the bug.

    I have high serria, powder toy AND Jacob's mod all have this glitch, it could be the latest update. 

    Yes, it only started after upgrading powder toy. The weird is that if I take a snapshot (shift+command+4 then click), the white box seems to go away, but if the cursor then goes out of the window then back in, the white box then reappears. For all, I know that powder toy hates Mac users.

     I feel like the latest update caused this glitch, although I may be wrong. I can't seem to find a snapshot that changes cursor stuff or I could just be bad at looking. Seems like nobody has this issue, could be the mac or powder toy. 

    Is the cursor flickering bug fixed?

    Latest update to tpt, or latest update to your mac?

    There's probably not too much I can do about this ... maybe I can tell SDL not to do its own mouse unless we're in fullscreen mode. Might fix the white box outside of fullscreen.

     Latest update.

    I forgot to tell this to you, but the white box inverts colours. I have no idea what this happens, this is the strangest glitch I have seen in TPT. 

    Now the weird thing is if I turn on the 3d effect the white box goes away.

    What do you mean by 3d effect? Are u using the 3d settings of tpt? (I think it was removed in latest snapshots)
