All other browser, and even in VM installations of OS's do not reproduce this issue. My conclusion is that some of my settings interfere.

Thank you in advance!

Thank you, Jonathon.

I know and use this. However, I reverted to the original settings, without using Ctrl key to locate the cursor. I have also increased the cursor icon and made it black for better visibility.
