Comment 17 for bug 1248938

Also by disabling my touchscreen, I could verify that netflix-desktop was working fine without the mouse cursor disappearing. So a workaround for this bug can be:
1. Identify the xid of the touchscreen input device
-> xinput --list
In the output there should be a device named something like a touchscreen, note its id field. In my case the id is 10.

2. Disable the device
-> xinput set-prop 10 'Device Enabled' 0

3. Watch a movie using netflix-desktop :)

4. When done enable the touchscreen by
-> xinput set-prop 10 'Device Enabled' 1
