With 101.1 I’ve noted when creating shapes or using the pen tool, the cursor flickers in a distracting manner, I originally thought it was just with my Wacom tablet but it also seems to happen with a mouse as well.
Hello!
Thank you for bringing this up! Could you share a quick screencast of the issue happening? I just tried to create several shapes using the mouse (and a trackpad) and I couldn’t notice any flickering 
Thanks a ton in advance 
Hey,
Thanks for sharing that! We weren’t able to replicate this, but we want to dig a bit deeper. Would you mind sharing more details to our email → productsupport@sketch.com so we can better verify the report and check out what could be happening here?
Things like:
- Your setup details
- Peripherals used (mice, keyboard)
- macOS and Sketch version
Thanks a ton in advance
It actually went away after a system restart. I had installed the update and not manually restarted Sketch.
FWIW:
MacBook Pro M1
Wacom Intuos pro
Keyboard is some generic custom mechanical thingy
macOS Sonoma

I also encountered the cursor flickering issue. After using Sketch for a while, the mouse cursor may occasionally flicker. When I select a layer and press the command or shift key, the mouse changes to a double arrow and then immediately returns to the default state. As long as I press the command key, the cursor flickers. However, after restarting Sketch, the mouse cursor returns to normal. I don’t know what is causing this, but it only happens after using Sketch for a while. Restarting Sketch resolves the issue.

It’s possible that this issue is caused by Photoshop. Try closing Photoshop and see if the problem persists.
Hey there!
Thanks for the video and extra information!
This is definitely something we had not seen and very well indeed, some apps in the background (like other design apps with Canvases and more) could be part of the problem here. We’ll forward the issue to the team so they can verify and check out what could be happening here.
I’ve discovered the cause of the issue in Sketch. The bug occurs when the double arrow cursor is used to click the up or down arrows next to a value. This is a bug in Sketch.
When I use the double arrow cursor to click the up or down arrows next to a value, it triggers the mouse bug, causing the cursor to flicker.
Hey!
Thank you for the report and the video, we were able to replicate on our end, and although the flickering is small/fast, it is really there.
We have already created a report for the team to check out this issue!
