This is a bug that manifests with some cursors. It was discussed here:

Stick with the Yaru cursor and it shouldn't happen.

thanks that worked, bu i do want a bright and slightly larger cursor like yellow or somethings as sometimes the small black cursor is just not visible against the application background or the wallpaper
