Cursor flickers between pointer and arrow

Question

Currently making a website which contains a table, of set height, whose rows populate and depopulate over time. On each row I have :hover { cursor: pointer; }, but it seems that when I move it between the rows it flickers between the pointer and the normal mouse arrow. I've also noticed this on other websites as well, I wasn't sure if this was a known issue or if there was anything that can be done about it. Thanks.

Answer 1

Another thing to try if your custom CSS cursors flicker back and forth to the default mouse arrow: check to see if Photoshop is open.

Photoshop can affect the mouse cursor in other applications; try quitting Photoshop to see if that resolves the issue.

Answer 2

A solution would be to put your table inside a div and then make the whole div have a cursor: pointer you also don't need to have cursor: pointer on the :hover pseudo class either.
