Vanishing cursor when www.elmundo.es is open

This is an annoying issue that I have been experimenting for a quite long time, maybe since 10.01 or so, but since I now use these forums I thought I might as well report it and see if other people have the same problem.

When I visit the website www.elmundo.es (a big Spanish online newspaper) and I leave the cursor still for a while, it vanishes. It only appears if I move it quite fast (a slow/slight movement won't do). I don't know if the cause is related to the site's HTML or to the Flash ads that it typically has. But it affects all tabs, i.e., if I am now writing this post in the opera.com website but one of my background tags is a news piece from elmundo.es, my cursor will vanish in the Opera website too.

Is this known?

I just had that happen on my machine in a bunch of tabs that had been open for a while (Opera 10.53). The cursor would disappear while in the browser window, then reappear when I moved it, the disappear again.

It stopped after I closed down and reopened the browser, but I'd prefer not to have to do that.

I tried but I couldn't make the cursor disappear. Should I leave it somewhere in particular in that site?

In my case it just happens when having any news item open. For example, right now, if I open this one: http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2010/05/05/internacional/1273030113.html and then I come to this tab, it happens.

Of course it might be something that doesn't happen in every machine/OS. I'm using 10.52 (but as I said it happened with previous versions too), with Windows XP.

Yep, it works fine on mine, too (10.53 XP Pro) ... except for the time it happened.
