Comment 9 for bug 455073

Affects me also. Not only that the mouse appears and disappears, but it also changes location to left and right a bit, so it doesn't help if I move the mouse to the edge of the screen because it keeps popping up left/right nevertheless.

It seems it doesn't happen if you don't move the mouse after going to fullscreen. Once you move it, you need to go off and back on to fullscreen if you want to stop it popping up every 7-8 seconds.

Has someone noticed/reported other bugs about SMPlayer on Karmic about playback? It often refuses to play after pausing (you need to stop the file and press play again) and with me playback with sound muted isn't possible at all.
